"Many studies suggest that patients generally get better results when their procedures are done at hospitals that perform them frequently." From the Wall Street Journal.
I went into the hospital to have my tonsils out;
and then with dengue fever I did have a longish bout.
When that was o'er a heart murmur kept me laid up for weeks;
then surgeons practiced on me sev'ral new-fangled techniques.
The nurses kept neglecting to perform the full routine;
my skin was turning yellow and my tongue a verdant green.
The bed sores got so awful that I cried myself to sleep;
I thought that soon I'd see the guy so grim that likes to reap.
When at last I was released I swore, as a true cynic,
never to go in again to bed and breakfast clinic!
