I recently met a medical doctor named Xavier Curiel. I don’t know very much about him. I do know that he’s a deeply thoughtful, spiritual, and well-read man.

When we were 30 and just having our first child, my husband woke up one day nauseous, light sensitive, feeling like his head was about to explode. “Did you ever see that movie in the ‘70s, Scanners?” he asked. “That’s how my head feels, like it’s going to burst from the inside. I wonder if the drill through the forehead would help? It didn’t seem to for the guy in the movie.”We realized that he was having his first migraine.
