The Boy Who Saw His Grandfather

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.

Why testimony and controlled research answer different questions
Testimony can document that a person had an experience and reveal its personal consequences. Controlled research can estimate patterns, compare groups, and test limited hypotheses. Neither form should be presented as though it performs the other function.
When the two are placed together, keep their labels visible. A moving account can motivate a research question, while research can supply context, but the emotional strength of the story does not increase the study quality.
