Faith, Healing & the Unexplained Near Greenwich, Mount Ararat

When Dr. David Dosa published his account of Oscar, the nursing home cat who predicted patient deaths with remarkable accuracy, in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007, he brought mainstream attention to a phenomenon that veterinary behaviorists and hospice workers had observed for years: animals appear to perceive impending death through senses that humans do not share. In Greenwich, Mount Ararat, Eastern Turkey, therapy animals in hospital settings have exhibited similar behaviors—gravitating toward specific patients, displaying distress before clinical deterioration becomes apparent, and showing preference for rooms where death is imminent. "Physicians' Untold Stories" by Dr. Scott Kolbaba places these animal behaviors within a broader context of unexplained perception in medical settings, alongside human experiences of anomalous knowing that share the same essential quality: information arriving through channels that science has not yet identified.
