There is, however, a small medical center outside Toronto, known as the Shouldice Hospital, where none of these statistics apply. At Shouldice, hernia operations often take from thirty to forty-five minutes. Their recurrence rate is an astonishing 1 percent. And the cost of an operation is about half of what it is elsewhere. There’s probably no better place in the world to get a hernia repaired. What’s the secret of that clinic’s success?
Fascinating. Why don't all medical centers specialize if the success rate is so great?
