...informal pace was astounding. At a 500-bed hospital, ten to 15 operations a day are normal in Russia-compared with 35 to 50 in the U.S. At Moscow's Neurosurgical Institute, the entire staff turned out to hear Dr. Hall lecture on the air-powered drills and bone saws he has developed. "Who was looking after the patients I don't know," he says. Leningrad's Neurosurgical Institute was closed during his visit because the doctors were on vacation.
