Physician Ashley M. McMullen offers a nonfiction piece that centers on an experience she had during her intern year. In her chapter, she conveys the ways in which the mutuality of spiritual care between provider and patient may require both to be still long enough to see and know each other. The story begins as the intern is nearing her last days of a six-week stretch of covering medicine wards at a teaching hospital. The rotation has been a season of darkness both literally and spiritually. Despite the overwhelming medical gravity and bodily vulnerability of her patients, she feels mutual healing and care. She shares the poignant moments of deeply shared humanity for the other during this on-call night.
