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.

I was trained at Harvard, did my fellowship at Mass General, and specialized in complex vascular reconstruction. None of that prepared me for a field hospital in Port-au-Prince where the only anesthesia was ketamine and the only light was a generator that failed every three hours.

The Intern's First Code
I was four days into my internal medicine residency when I was called to my first code. I did everything by the book. She came back. And the first thing she did was thank me — not for saving her life, but for something I did that I didn't remember doing.

Reading extraordinary claims without losing empathy
People often share unusual experiences because the event affected their identity, relationships, or fear of death. A purely argumentative response can miss that human purpose. Empathy means hearing the account accurately; it does not require accepting every proposed cause.
One useful practice is to summarize the experience in neutral language before evaluating it. Separate what was seen or remembered from what the narrator believes it means, then identify which parts could be checked against independent records.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Is a personal belief clearly labeled instead of presented as medical consensus?
- 2.Does the conclusion match what was measured rather than what was merely possible?
- 3.Could medication, physiology, expectation, or memory affect the account?
- 4.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
- 5.Are publication date, authorship, and editorial review status visible?
