conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

article about CPE

This is a nice little article.

In an unadorned room with a panoramic view of the East River, doctors at Bellevue Hospital Center had toiled for days trying to cure Dennis Barcelona of a neurological illness.

But Mr. Barcelona had also been struggling privately with a condition that science could not remedy and stethoscopes could not detect: his fear of the wrath of God.

That was a job for a rabbi.

Kudos to Micah for the heads up. Here is the link to the article. The usual NY Times rules apply.
