It seems to me that because we have a very small program where everything is done by a small, intimate group, that we profit by our experience much more greatly than if it was diffused over a large number of people. OSU's heart transplant program has struggled even more to meet the volume standard. The center performed 11 transplants in 1995 and just seven in 1996. Dr. P. David Myerowitz, director of OSU's heart transplant program, partly attributed the slowdown to the loss of two transplant cardiologists in 1996. Myerowitz also said that OSU, because it has a conservative approach about which hearts to accept for transplantation, occasionally turns away donor hearts that other programs use.
Some guys are on the fringe and some guys invest in CDs.
That's an attitude of life. I admit I'm a conservative individual, and our program's probably conservative.
