Well, it's not really hospital - it's a "diagnostic center" and used for
outpatient procedures. The building only covers a half-block and is two stories
high. Both of the major hospitals here (St. John's and Memorial Medical Centre)
are in buildings two blocks wide by four (or more) blocks deep and 10 or more
stories tall. Not counting parking lots.

I am going to consult with my surgeon on that. I've not had a problem, passed a
stone, or even gotten a twinge from the gall bladder since that episode on 4th
July. If I don't have to be sliced and diced - I'd just as soon not be.

I generally like most Greek dishes ....

I, on the other hand, merely tolerate aubergine rather than actively like it. I
tolerate it better than okra - but, I will probably never seek it out as a
comestible.

      Title: Hank's Avgolemono Soup
 Categories: Soups, Poultry, Citrus, Rice, Eggs
      Yield: 7 Servings
 
      2 tb Olive oil
      1 c  Chopped yellow onion
      5 c  Chicken stock
           +=PLUS=+
      1 c  Water
    1/2 c  Orzo or rice
      1 lb Chicken; 1/4" cubes
           Salt
      3 tb Lemon juice
      3 lg Eggs
           Fresh parsley to garnish
 
  Heat the olive oil in a medium pot and saute the onions
  over medium-high heat until they are soft and translucent,
  4-5 minutes. While the onions are cooking, bring another
  pot of salted water to a boil and add the orzo or rice.
  
  When the onions are ready, add the chicken stock and water
  and bring to a bare simmer. When the orzo or rice is
  nearly done - firm, but mostly cooked - drain the boiling
  water and add the pasta or rice to the chicken broth. Add
  the diced chicken breast to the pot. Let this cook 5-8
  minutes, then taste the soup for salt.
  
  Beat the eggs in a bowl. Whisking constantly, add the
  lemon juice to the eggs. You will need to temper the eggs
  before you add the egg-lemon mixture to the soup. It takes
  both hands to do this. With one hand, whisk the egg-lemon
  mixture vigorously. With the other, slowly pour in a
  ladle's worth of hot broth. Do this at least twice, and
  you can add as many ladle's worth of broth as you want to
  the mixture.
  
  Turn the heat off the soup. Whisk the soup with one hand
  while you pour the hot egg-lemon mixture in with the
  other. Serve at once, garnished with parsley.
  
  Yield: Serves 6-8.
