Ed,
I was reading an article about trauma care in the US the other day. A
doctor was saying he believes the main reason the Murder rate is LOW is
because our trauma doctors have gotten so good at saving murder victims
lives, thus moving the crime into the assault category. In many other
countries a serious wound is nearly always fatal.

Hmm. Interesting, but I'd want to see some documentation before swallowing
that idea.
