Summary

In May of 2020, Elizabeth Silver wrote: “Three years ago, I wrote a book which explored how we cope not just with the unknown, but the uncertain elements of our health…. The title 'The Tincture of Time: A Memoir of (Medical) Uncertainty' comes from the commonly-known phrase used by medical professionals the world over when the only answer for a prognosis is time. It’s not the cliché that time will heal all wounds, because it may for some and may not for others, but rather the prescription of time as the only source of answers. It is a phrase I now rely on whenever something unexpected enters.” Silver makes some good points—like the need to accept that uncertainty is part of life and that it “is something we can and must live with.” However, is time really “the only source of answers”? Is blind acceptance of the reality of uncertainty the only salve for our fears and anxiety? Or is there something more we can hang on to? Thankfully, God says there is more— much, much more!
