Little known fact: 696 Americans died in recreational boating accidents in 2006 :eek: I'm guessing that Stell-bud-ecks had a bit to do with more than a few of them :rolleyes:

Worldwide maybe..but I doubt it...since there aren't even that many Dr.s

What difference does it make if there are 11.5M doctors or not? Is each doctor only allowed to perform 1 surgery a year? It would only take around 32K doctors doing an average of 1 surgery a day for a year to get to 11.5M

There were nearly 11.5 million surgical and nonsurgical procedures performed in the United States, as reported by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). Surgical procedures accounted for nearly 19% of the total with nonsurgical procedures making up 81% of the total.

Americans spent approximately $12.4 billion on cosmetic procedures last year

And we're still fat, ugly and lazy. This is not money well spent.

You shouldn't talk about yourself like that, it's not good for your self esteem. Don't worry, if you keep spending money on cosmetic surgery eventually you'll be beautiful. Look what it did for Michael Jackson.
