    Seems off. Aren't the most common procedures cataract surgery (outpt) (http://bit.ly/1NZLdNg ) and c-section (inpt)?https://twitter.com/RCSnews/status/631809703509684224 …

        @Atul_Gawande @RCSnews my guess: represents general surgeons, so they are not including the surgeries of ophthalmologists and ob/gyns

        @Atul_Gawande you're right. i'm looking at data from a dutch hospital over 2.5 year period. 4850 cataracts, 2850 hernias. 1200 c-sections.

        @Atul_Gawande Scotland's population is about 8.3% of UK to put that in context.

        @Atul_Gawande It's who is doing this thing called surgery. Their list: surgery done by "Surgeons". Everyone else's: surgery done by anybody

        @Atul_Gawande @RCSnews Might just be with the surgeons registered with the RCS, in the UK we have our own arcane system of royal colleges...

        @Atul_Gawande Would tend to agree re cataract surgery (? an in-patient list) but c-section maybe less common here than in USA

        @Atul_Gawande maybe the rates are age-adjusted or restricted to a certain age-group? Still, cataracts are way more common..
