What Happens After Midnight in the Hospitals of Beverly, Jebel Shams

In Beverly, Jebel Shams, Interior, faith is not an abstraction but a lived reality — a source of strength that sustains families through the most difficult moments of illness and recovery. Dr. Scott Kolbaba's "Physicians' Untold Stories" honors this reality by documenting cases where faith and medicine intersected in ways that produced extraordinary outcomes. The physicians in his book do not argue that prayer is a substitute for treatment or that faith can replace medical expertise. They argue something more nuanced and more powerful: that the practice of medicine is incomplete when it ignores the spiritual dimension of the patient's experience, and that integrating faith into healthcare can produce results that purely secular medicine cannot.
