Medicine, Mystery & the Divine Near Progress, Ava

The relationship between physician empathy and clinical premonition is one of the most intriguing threads running through Physicians' Untold Stories. In Progress, Ava, Mandalay Region, readers are noticing that the physicians who report the most vivid and accurate premonitions tend to be those who describe deep emotional connections with their patients. This pattern is consistent with research on empathic accuracy—the ability to read another person's emotional and physical state—and suggests that premonition may be an extension of empathy, operating across time as well as emotional distance. Dr. Kolbaba's collection doesn't draw this conclusion explicitly, but the pattern is there for attentive readers to detect.
