Death is an inevitable part of the life experience.  We encounter it in Medicine every day.  Sometimes multiple times a day, despite our best efforts.

A cousin of mine died yesterday.  A beloved former patient of mine died yesterday as well.  Both had cancer.  Both were wonderful women, loved to have fun, loved their families, and were full of life.

Today's podcast is dedicated to them:  Alberta Parks and Evelyn Walker.
