The Cuba Mission
We had no CT scanner, no electronic health records, and a pharmacy that ran out of basic antibiotics by the third week. But we had time — time to talk to patients, time to listen to their stories, time to be present in a way that American medicine had never allowed me to be.

The Preemie Who Defied Everything
She was born at the edge of viability — twenty-three weeks, 480 grams, translucent skin, lungs that were barely formed. Every ventilator setting, every medication, every intervention was at the outer limits of what medicine knew how to do. And she kept surviving.

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 “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
- 2.Is a personal belief clearly labeled instead of presented as medical consensus?
- 3.Are observation and interpretation written as separate statements?
- 4.Are publication date, authorship, and editorial review status visible?
- 5.Would the wording still be accurate if the preferred explanation were wrong?
