200+ Physicians Share What They Witnessed Near Lavender, Subic
Faith and medicine have always shared an uneasy alliance in Lavender, Subic, Luzon. Hospitals were founded by religious orders, chaplains walk the same halls as surgeons, and patients pray before procedures with the same earnestness they bring to following pre-operative instructions. Dr. Scott Kolbaba's "Physicians' Untold Stories" explores what happens when these two worlds collide in spectacular fashion—when the prayer seems to be answered in real time, when the inexplicable recovery aligns perfectly with a congregation's vigil, when the dying patient speaks of angels with the clinical specificity of a radiologist reading a scan. These stories do not ask readers to abandon critical thinking. Rather, they ask us to apply that critical thinking to phenomena that most physicians have encountered but few have dared to discuss openly.
