But at the end of the day what really matters is sales and profits

Need to come clean and admit that:
I worked in medical informatics as a designer and implementer of medical software systems (I briefly mentioned one such on the Orion Healthcare thread).
I am good with numbers and understanding what they actually represent and what are meaningful conclusions that can be drawn from them (though I occasionally get it wrong :mellow:).
I am confident that the PPV near the end of the video on this CxBladder.com page is very wrong, even if the music is OK:
Attachment 5991
and that this is right:
Attachment 5992
And here is a nice little article about medical professionals and statistics, which makes you wonder whether this discussion is worth the candle :scared:.

The one and only time I get to explain something to PT and not the other way round. Hence my sharetrader career peaking.
Someone was mistakingly calling Hancock's HanD cocks and someone earlier was talking about feeding chickens.
I have simply combined the themes of the day to help someone who was confused about Hancock's name.
Hancock's and feeding chickens, not Handcocks and choking them as this person was confused with.
An alternative theory I heard bantered round is that in Hancock's funny picture, the chicken is a metaphor for PEB and the arm belongs to a few of the 'members' on this site.
Anyway, back to topic
