Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The hematologist author was consulted as an expert on a case leukemia, by reading a set of bone marrow samples “blind” without clinical information. The patient had clearly been treated with chemotherapy, but the doctor was later surprised to learn that she considered herself healed through the intercession of a woman who had been dead for 200 years. This cure was deemed miraculous, and on its strength, Marguerite d’Youville became the first Canadian-born saint. Now more sensitized to saints, Duffin soon noticed that the ancient twin physicians, Saints Cosmas and Damian, were enjoying a robust revival in Canada and the United States. She began a search to find out why. The work led her to sociological, genealogical, and psychological theories, and to libraries, archives, great cities and obscure villages across North America and Europe. She also conducted surveys with pilgrims at feast-day celebrations. The investigation eventually produced some surprising connections with medical greats and with twins healers from other religions. But, for her, the biggest discovery was a new perspective on medicine and its parallel functions with religion. A scholarly work written autobiographically, Medical Saints is not only the history of the veneration of Cosmas and Damian, and other healing saints; it is a history of the research project itself.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
