United Stats of America

Much of what I do is based upon stats, and knowing them at my fingertips.  For example, 10% of appendicitis has a normal white count, and 50% of auto accidents have alcohol involved.  Or a running joke in medicine is that 85% of statistics are made up on the spot.  Anyway, I think you get the point.

A new show on the History Channel is the United Stats of America.  The idea is to come up with a question, and then get some opinions from folks on the street, and then to build an episode around what the real stats are on the item in question.
