    • 6/ OK, rant over. This is not the tone in which I wish to remember Dr Gagnon. But don't take that from me. Just listen to his grateful patients, some of whom have been so moved they've been visiting our building where he worked, just to pay their respects: https://t.co/pRqabZVSUz

    In this season of giving, the gift of life is critical. A Utah doctor and mother of two recently donated part of her liver so that a sick baby could live. It’s a gift she would give again, even though she did not know the child she saved.
