Have you ever tried to pick the right wrench to loosen a bolt. First, you take a look at the bolt and then at the wrench assortment and guess which wrench is the magic wand. The odds are against even the best mechanic to get the right fit the first time, every time. Sometimes it’s not the right one and you still think it may be or it will still work and larger issues become apparent later when you have to readdress the situation. Now think what would happen if every time that you guessed the wrong wrench, you had to throw it in the waste bin and buy a new one.$$$

If the surgeon misjudged the replacement, there was no putting it back into inventory. It gets added to the bill of sale. Even simple math adds up very quickly when you’re two or even three sizes off multiple times a day.$$$

Gambling in the United States is a multi-billion dollar industry.  In fact, according to the American Gambling Association, in 2007 revenue from legalized gambling in the United States was $92.27 billion.   And Americans will gamble on anything they can get their hands on, or should I say, lay their money on.  I bet the first person to read this article is a male…any takers?  I got 1 to 1 odds!  If I were to tell you that you had a 1 in 3 chance that you would: win the jackpot lottery, get a better higher paying career, go on an expense-paid vacation, meet the spouse of your dreams, you would probably like those odds…I mean, they are good odds.  Then what if I told you that you had a 1 in 3 chance that: your lunch order would be incorrect, you would get a flat tire, your computer will get a virus, or your favorite team will lose the championship game, all due to the simple fact of poor performance, you probably wouldn’t like those odds…I mean, those are bad odds.  And now what if I told you that 1 in 3 radiological exams or retakes are inappropriate and potentially life-threatening due to the poor performing or ineffectiveness of equipment?
