Reaction to the May cover story

With all due respect, I found your cover headline "Feeling the Heat?" somewhat inappropriate. To be blunt, I found your attempt at journalistic wit to be tacky at best. Had there not been loss of life with the Houston ASC arson, your clever calembour might be more understandable, but as there have been many innocent people hurt by this tragedy, something more compassionate to the victims would have been a better representation of how (at least) your readership feels. Leave such clever(?) captions for The New York Times and and elevate Outpatient Surgery to a higher standard.
