Let us never underestimate the human capacity for evil, even within our own profession. Some of history’s most horrific torturers and murderers have been physicians.

Really disgusting. But maybe it shows that people aren't lining up to blow up "the infidels?" Are they beginning to run out of volunteers? Wishful thinking...

Physician or not, that doesn't change the wrongfulness of the act.

Whoever did this will most assuredly be there for eternity: Deus vult, Insha'Allah, God willing. Before you docs curdle inside at the thought that a member of your profession had a part in this, never forget the physicians who go the distance for the least among us. My grandfather and my father were docs. In my lifetime, I have seen four generations of physicians deliver spectacular care to Down Syndrome adults and infants. Bless you all.
