Real Physicians. Real Stories. Real Miracles Near Deerfield, Sur
The Lourdes International Medical Committee has verified sixty-nine miraculous cures since 1858 — each one subjected to years of medical scrutiny by panels of physicians who approached their task as skeptics. Dr. Scott Kolbaba's "Physicians' Untold Stories" carries this same spirit of rigorous investigation, documenting recoveries that occurred not at pilgrimage sites but in ordinary hospitals and clinics across America. For residents of Deerfield, Sur, Interior, these accounts are especially meaningful because they demonstrate that unexplained healing is not confined to sacred geography. It happens in ICUs and emergency rooms, in oncology suites and rehabilitation centers — wherever human suffering meets something larger than medicine alone can provide.
