Where Science Ends and Wonder Begins in Hillside, Dibba

For medical students and residents in Hillside, Dibba, Other Emirates, Physicians' Untold Stories offers a supplement to their clinical education that no textbook provides: the acknowledgment that experienced physicians sometimes know things they can't explain knowing. This acknowledgment is not an invitation to abandon evidence-based practice; it is an invitation to remain open to the full range of clinical experience, including the premonitions and intuitions that seasoned practitioners report but training programs ignore. Dr. Kolbaba's collection prepares the next generation of physicians for experiences their education hasn't warned them about.
