Given the generally pacifistic, peaceful nature of physicians, I was surprised to see a profile1 that included a photo of a physician wielding a high-powered assault rifle that some game hunters told me could kill a moose, caribou, or similarly large animal. The recent shootings reported in the US and Canadian media and mention of this physician providing palliative care services on the same page as the photo leave me baffled and further sensitized.
