The Village Doctor
In a town without a hospital, a clinic with one exam room, and a pharmacy that closes at 6 PM, being a doctor means something different. It means delivering three generations of the same family. It means making house calls in a snowstorm. And it means being told, on the day you almost quit, that you saved a life you didn't know you'd saved.

When Faith Met Science in the NICU
The infant was born at twenty-three weeks, weighing just over a pound. The neonatology team gave him a ten percent chance of survival. His family held prayer vigils in the hospital chapel every night. Against every prediction, he not only survived but thrived — and the NICU staff had to grapple with what they witnessed.

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.
