...neat little 3-in. cut under your rib while your warm ticker beats on merrily. We did our total hips and knees through smaller and smaller incisions until a couple of years ago. All that stretching led to some wound problems. So a lot of surgeons "bounced off the bottom" and went back up to a 4- or 5-in. cut. It became a little silly because after the first week there is very little, if any, difference in how the patients feel, no matter what size cut you use.

I am probably one of the few fortunate people, traveling frequently between rural Guatemala and the hallowed halls of Harvard, that is lucky enough to be reminded of the top and bottom of that pyramid. What scares me the most is that rural Guatemala is actually middle class in comparison with the world, so I have yet to even begin to comprehend the global pyramid of destruction. At Harvard we are on top of that pyramid and we’re leaving billions...
