DR. CORNEL:
So I'm going to talk about the
art of surgery and the art of cardiac surgery.
I do want to editorialize a little bit and
you've heard about Walkerton several times.
I think that in Canada it is a
national disgrace, a tragedy, a disaster and
totally unspeakable that 2000 people should be
poisoned by their water supply. And incidentally
they still can't drink the water. They still
can't use the water. It's going to be another
year before they can.
I think you need to add another
acronym onto the name of this organization and
I suggest that you S.T.O.P. and S.W.I.M.
because Safe Water Is Mandatory.
In talking about Hemolytic
Uremic Syndrome and the heart, science doesn't
help us; at least, the typical science doesn't
help us. We've heard about the difficulty of
studying HUS in terms of renal complications.
If you divide that by a hundred or multiply that
difficulty by a hundred that represents the
problems in looking at heart disease.
So what I'm telling you is
opinion based on observations and clinical
experience but not upon statistical facts.
