Things went well in the OR today, Harry. Everyone bowed down as is the practice and all joined in joyous song as I tied the last suture . . after which I bestowed the usual blessings on all who participated . . Ah . . Life is GOOD for the devine.
I see, Harry, that your reading comprehension problem has reared its ugly head again while I toiled under the hot OR lights. May story has not changed one iota. What I had ACTUALLY stated is that I have no qualms with office-based surgeries "AS LONG AS THE FACILITIES ARE UP TO SNUFF." Unfortunately, even for those office facilities which have gotten the accreditation of HICFA, there is no ongoing oversight to see that standards are maintain, and most office-based surgeons never bother to get this blessing anyhow . . . opting for it ONLY so that they might charge
a facility fee.
It is, indeed, a very old and easily exposed technique to parse a statement as you have done to suit your own purposes, but it is even more foolish for one to attempt such deceit when the statement is in writing and easily referenced.
And since you now allege that you never said that hospitals were bad places to have surgery, just what were you implying when you wrote, "There is much more chance of malpractice being performed in the hospital than in the office."
Just what is it, Harry, ol' man, that you do in that hospital in which you toil for a living? . . Why have you developed such an anomisity toward the podiatrists on staff there? . . And how come, with all of the "inside knowledge" you profess . . . how come you initially sought treatmentfor your severely troubled feet from doctors who employ traditional surgical procedures?
Tune in next week for the answers to these and other important questions.
