Three years ago a Rhode Island geriatrician named Dr. David Dosa described the curious life of Oscar the cat in the New England Journal of Medicine (see article). In short, Oscar, 2, had an uncanny ability to predict the death of residents at a nursing home by paying a visit to their room.
He's now done so for more than 50 patients, and Dosa has authored a book, Making the Rounds with Oscar, that was released this week.
But can ******* really perceive imminent death? And if so, how? For the answers I turned to.....
