I don’t know why it keeps adding all the white space…
but I think I’ll stop doing tables.

It’s pretty obvious where most of the mitral valve repairs are being done. But it’s also interesting to see the difference in hospital stays. Low numbers of MV repairs, with a few of them having long hospital stays, can really mess up their totals!
