The Light in Room 7
I've seen it more than thirty times in my twenty-year career. A light — not electrical, not reflected, not explainable — that fills the room for just a few seconds after a patient dies. Every nurse on our unit has seen it. Nobody talks about it.

What makes a source useful
A useful source lets readers trace a claim. For research, that usually means an identifiable paper, DOI, methods, participant count, and limitations. For a personal account, it means a clear provenance note and an honest description of what records or witnesses are available.
Popularity, professional status, and emotional force can increase interest, but they do not replace documentation. Strong editorial work makes the source trail visible and tells readers when the trail ends.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Does the article report the study sample and its major limitations?
- 2.Would the wording still be accurate if the preferred explanation were wrong?
- 3.Are changed names, composite details, and confidentiality limits disclosed?
- 4.Could medication, physiology, expectation, or memory affect the account?
- 5.Does a quoted number link to a source that actually supports that number?
