Ya know those "For Dummies" books? Like cooking for dummies, woodworking for dummies, etc? Well, I have for quite some time held the belief that they are putting just way too many books our there. Seriously, what is next - Quantum Physics of Lanyard Making For Dummies? Anyway, Imagine my suprise when upon reading the below article, I thought it just might be time to come out with a special edition of the Dummy books especially for these doctors - entitled (of course) Brain Surgery for Dummies.
The Rhode Island Department of Health fined Rhode Island Hospital $50,000 in November because three doctors so far this year have performed neurosurgery on the wrong side of the patients' brains. (Two patients survived.) [San Francisco Chronicle-AP, 11-27-07]
