That is an example of ONE or, in statistics, an N of 1. Perhaps there were reasons why her arm could NOT be returned to perfection. When I broke something on my body, it never got back to perfect. ANYWAY, there are global comparisons for HEALTHCARE. The US is LAST out of 9 major nations. That is EASY to look up. There is a word for the concept of thinking that YOUR particular country is the ABSOLUTE BEST......I believe it is ethnocentric.
