I am delighted to talk to the Ben Taub Surgeons: Drs. Wall, Carrick,  Norman,
Welsh, Scott, and Liscum about this study, as long as entry criteria and 
definition of end points are well defined and scientifically sound.    OR any of
you are eligible to contact them directly.

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,\.
