The Cuba Mission
We had no CT scanner, no electronic health records, and a pharmacy that ran out of basic antibiotics by the third week. But we had time — time to talk to patients, time to listen to their stories, time to be present in a way that American medicine had never allowed me to be.

The fetal monitor showed no heartbeat for eleven minutes. Protocol said to call time of death. But something — she still cannot explain what — made her wait. One more minute. Two more. And then the heartbeat returned.

The Light in Room 7
I've seen it more than thirty times in my twenty-year career. A light — not electrical, not reflected, not explainable — that fills the room for just a few seconds after a patient dies. Every nurse on our unit has seen it. Nobody talks about it.

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.
