Amazing coincidence or what

Leeds heart surgery death figures wrong, says cardiologist

Children's heart surgery was wrongly suspended at Leeds General Infirmary because of "incomplete" information, a senior doctor has said.
The unit was shut after the NHS medical director said data showed mortality figures were higher than expected.
But cardiologist Elspeth Brown said the data did not include all the operations, and that staff were confident in their clinical work.
NHS managers say various factors contributed to the suspension.
Surgery was suspended on Thursday, just 24 hours after a High Court ruling kept the unit open.
NHS medical director Sir Bruce Keogh said while the timing was "embarrassing" he had to act because data suggested a death rate twice the national average, and after concerns were raised about junior staff.

So just after a court kept the government from closing it was closed for safety, even though the staff there say the information used is incorrect. Coincidence or what? I'm so surprised that that information wasn't available to the judge............. not

Sorry to come across dumb, but like a lot of people i don't know much about history and don't know much about biology, if i'm wrong can somebody say something.

So the heart is a muscle which is basically a DUAL outlet high pressure pump, one circuit has a flow and return to the brain.exe and the giblets - lungs and the heart it's self.

The other half of the high pressure pump provides hydralic pressure to work the arms legs and other hydralic unctions.

If either side of the pump fails, would it be correct to assume your either permantly dead, or in some-kind of permant off line status?


So if a person, no matter their age sex or software version has a fault with their dual pressure pump thing there going to snuff it anyway, and with the cost of fuel, rail fairs and generally not wanting to pay anything would it not be better off letting the docotrs at this chop shop have a few pot shots with some expandin foam poundland epoxy and raw plugs or not?

That's fair to say. Though that's also not the subject matter really. Just that it looks like the government/NHS lost the case for closure, threw it's rattle out of the pram and closed it anyway out of spite more than anything else.
