Tim,

For what it is worth, I am hoping to get the study funded - not sure how that is gonna affect my international colleagues (IF this is funded by some govt agency), but lets see how it plays out.....

The only catch is getting the study to have sponsored gadgets to use. The
unit I work at now has seen just under 200 major chest injuries in the
first 18 months since opening; we are about to embark on an extensive
review of these. I can off-hand think of 4 or 5 patients we discussed that
we would like to fix - if we had access to these gadgets, which we don't
as we are a public hospital wth out equipment dependant upone the national
health tender,\.
