During the French-Mexican War, a poorly supplied and outnumbered Mexican army under General Ignacio Zaragoza defeats a French army attempting to capture Puebla de Los Angeles, a small town in east-central Mexico.
At least 30% to 50% of graduating general surgeons take fellowships and ultimately narrow the scope of their practices. These surgeons do not perform all the procedures that the average general surgeon does. Almost 50% of medical school graduates are women, and up to 40% of surgical residents are women as well. Here is âthe elephant in the roomâ that no one wants to talk about.
For example, the surgeon per total population ratio seen in Table 31 was 1 surgeon per 7000 people (Table excludes surgeons over 65). Table 31 shows 1 surgeon per 6000 people (Table includes surgeons between 65 and 70 years of age).This population ratio is maintained in the surgeons projection for Table 32.7 Current retirement The average number of surgeons retiring between2005 and 2010 was 37 per annum. The average rate of retirement is 3.9%. In 2009, however, 23 Australian surgeons returned to active surgical practice (Table 8 and 9, Figure 4).
