Fallen comrades

Tragically, one cardiac surgeon, one pediatric cardiothoracic fellow, as well as four others on the organ transplant team from the University of Michigan, have had their plane crash en route to retrieve organs for a patient. Even though I am totally not smart or brilliant enough to have anything to do with organ transplantation, it still is poignant when one of your own dies 'in the line of fire', doing what we usually do.
