Dangerous Leak. Last June Dr. Gallagher operated on a man of 40 with a dangerously leaking aneurysm. After opening the patient's skull, he fired a hog's hair into the aneurysm which was ten times as big across as its parent artery.

The hospitals run a research institute and a nursing school. The parent plan builds such facilities as clinics, which it leases to the medical groups...
