So the government has plans to publish the death rates of individual surgeons and that 60% above the average is unacceptable (Can chance make you a killer?). Are they going to be surprised when surgeons refuse to operate on high risk patients? Or that safe procedures are preferred over "effective" ones. Will a death due to not operating be the same as a death in an operation? I suspect that the days of experienced surgeons doing cutting edge (sorry) operations on chronically ill patients will be over.

What's happened to Weekly Bonus Question? Tedious Friday afternoon tasks are just not bearable without it. Was it something we said? Did we embarrass it with our responses? Has it had to make way for other questions in the light of ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ cut-backs?
I think we should be told.

Monitor note: WBQ was last seen packing its bags for a sunshine mini-break.
Re Comic Sans = Lemonade Stand. On the other hand, I'd have hoped a Fortune 500 company would know which words to capitalise.
