Dr. Mattox,

Speaking of things that didn't appear on the list: pretty amazing article on
the front page of the NYTimes on Christmas Day about Dr. DeBakey. Briefly,
he is now the world's oldest at 97 recipient of the operation he invented!
It sounds like he is doing great. Very interesting ethical dilemmas! Wow.

Did I miss something on the Trauma-List, or was this  message randomly
cc'd from ccm-l without any useful  reference?

No, the fault was mine.   I thought the ppt  was beautiful  photography and 
the story about evil and dark was nice.   I co posted  to ccm-l and trauma
and 
Surginet.     On CCM-L there was  skepticism and reporting that Einstein did

NOT cite this in his autobiography  and could not be cited as Einstein being

the source.  THere was implication  that this was a made up story to prove
that 
GOOD or GOD  existed.    My take is that the piece was beautiful and even if
a 
 John Doe answered the professor or if there was no professor at all and 
someone  made up the story, it still is an example of great logic.   In the
end, 
none of us are smart enough to know everything about everything, including  
beginnings and extents of the universe and submolecular particles.    We
each 
must take a lot on faith, including physiologic responses to our
treatments.
