Published Writing
Sixteen pieces. Every one of them linked.
You should not hire a writer on the strength of a website. Read the work and decide for yourself — almost all of it is free.
Peer-reviewed clinical research, narrative medicine, national newspapers, literary magazines and Jewish writing. Published as Mark E. Paull.

If you only read two.
The Last Injection
A Jewish family, an illness and a pharmacist brother. Minyan Magazine, Issue 16. Nominated for a Pushcart Prize. This is the closest thing online to what a family history from me reads like.
When Lindy Saved My Life
The Missouri Review, BLAST online anthology, March 2026. Named among the top ten in the Jeffrey E. Smith Editors’ Prize.
Literary & personal essay
A running account of leaving Montréal for the Galilee at seventy, with a greyhound. New pieces appear as they are published.
What stops counting as a crisis after the worst thing has already happened. Read the full piece here.
Narrative medicine
Chronic fatigue reframed as a physiological consequence of continuous self-regulation rather than a personal failing.
Endurance as a communicative structure shaped by physiological constraint, and the pre-linguistic bodily signals of chronic illness.
Peer-reviewed & clinical
Calendar-based CGM segmentation misaligns with continuous circadian glucose oscillators. Circular time representation and Shannon entropy analysis show midnight segmentation produces a 2.8-fold reduction in continuity correlation and 12.1% information loss.
Simultaneous hospital alarms elevate cortisol and directly counteract insulin effectiveness in DKA. Argues for environmental audit and sensory-aware design as patient-safety interventions.
CGM systems fail to capture the behavioural and cognitive context behind glucose variability — and physiological data alone does not reflect adherence or clinical intent.

Your family’s story, written the same way.
The discipline that goes into a published essay is the discipline that goes into a family history. Same listening, same structure, same refusal to invent a fact that is not there.
