The Quietest Room
The room had beige walls, a box of tissues on the table, and a chair positioned so the patient could see the door. I had delivered bad news in that room hundreds of times. Then one patient asked me to sit down, take a breath, and tell her the truth like a human being — not like a doctor.

The Cuba Mission

A careful way to compare competing explanations
Begin by listing explanations without ranking them by preference. Ask what each explanation predicts, which observations it accounts for, and what evidence would count against it. This reduces the temptation to treat mystery as confirmation.
A good comparison also allows multiple factors to operate together. Physiology, medication, expectation, memory reconstruction, culture, and spiritual meaning do not always form mutually exclusive categories.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
- 2.Was the account recorded close to the event or reconstructed much later?
- 3.Is a personal belief clearly labeled instead of presented as medical consensus?
- 4.Is the narrator’s emotional meaning preserved without overstating evidence?
- 5.Could medication, physiology, expectation, or memory affect the account?
