    Death Happens Every Day

    I finally got to read my pile of journals that had been occupying my coffee table for the summer. I usually take a few volumes and hole up on the couch absorbing the new research that has come out. As always, I was personally touched by Dr. Anne Katz's editorial in the July issue of the Oncology Nursing Forum titled "Scar Tissue in the Heart."
