The room had beige walls, a box of tissues on the table, and a chair positioned so the patient could see the door. I had delivered bad news in that room hundreds of times. Then one patient asked me to sit down, take a breath, and tell her the truth like a human being — not like a doctor.

The editorial responsibility behind extraordinary stories
Extraordinary medical stories involve real risks: patient privacy, reputational harm, false reassurance, and confusion between reflection and health advice. Clear provenance and restrained language are therefore part of the product, not decorative disclaimers.
Readers should be able to see who wrote a piece, whether it is a composite, which sources support its research claims, and how to find professional help when the subject involves health or crisis.
