True, true. I suppose the statistics are ultimately in favor of the patient... but doctors/dentists hear about more of the scary stories, which is probably a good thing (for their training)! Then again, my grandfather died in surgery due to anesthesiologist error, so I have a personal reason to be a bit wary of going under.
It's a bit like my stint in the fish factory, here in Iceland (for my research). I could tell you ALL kinds of things about what happens to Icelandic cod before it gets exported abroad... but you don't want to know that, or it might ruin your next fish and chips meal. 99% of it is perfectly fine and edible, so why worry about that 1%?
