Ted, I can't remember the statistic but I think of the people receiving operations, either 5 or 10% end up with surgeon's tools inside them. I doubt it. Ten percent? I think you have an overly skewed view of the medical profession. Makes me wonder whether you ever had elective surgery. Yes, you are right........I just checked. Tools are left 1500 times out of 28 million cases or less than 1%. And no I have never had elective surgery unless you count my tonsils when I was a kid. ama-assn.org Me: Well, yeah, considering the tuition ... You: At least your honest........... I wonder if you got the joke. You see, it takes a six-figure salary to pay off the tuition at Cornell ... ;-) Yes, I got the joke. ted
