If this doctor had just been eaten by a giant crocodile while doing humanitarian work in Botsawana this would be a pretty sad story. But what makes the whole thing absolutely terrifying is that the crocodile jumped out of the water and snatched Dr. Root from his canoe. I have a lot of trouble picturing how that happened, but I don't like the fact that animals seem to be picking up new tactics. No longer content to grab you by the head, go into a death roll and then drown you, crocodiles have now learned how to JUMP OUT OF THE WATER TO KILL YOU. It's just not right.

alex,
dr. root was also the chair of medicine at ucsf and had an office across the hall from mom's at moffitt. i left you a message about it because mom told me today that she knew him and i started freaking out and needed to tell you. pretty crazy, huh?
