Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The weather is good here (it snowed at few days ago!) and I am doing construction work outside whilst I can. The missing image is of an x-ray showing a Backhaus towel clip accidentally left inside the abdomen of a surgical patient, and of a decubitus ulcer (bedsore) on the sacrum of another patient: both images were obtained from the web and are perfectly pedestrian and in no way lewd or lascivious. However, Photobucket, the image hosting service I use, has extremely strict policies on the kind of images they allow. Whatever filtering mechanism they use is quite quirky about showing unclothed bodies or parts thereof. It is almost impossible to predict what they will censor. I have learned that most Reconnaissance and Classical art will be censored – for instance, the Venus de Milo has a good chance of being censored. I am sending the missing image to the Webmaster of Chronosphere, Eugen Leitl, who can (hopefully) replace it in the text. Eugen has urged me to drop Photobucket and use another hosting service. I’m willing to do this, however Photobucket is is extremely easy to use, very reliable and very inexpensive. Having said that, they are completely “unresponsive” to questions and complaints and deal with clients by using automated, generic responses. — Mike Darwin

> This is a staggering number of deaths and the associated cost is an estimated $282 billion! And keep in mind this does not include the patients who are injured and do not die, or the many patients whose death or injury is either not detected, or not reported.

Following image is broken.
