But as he went through the files, one detail jumped out at him.

That's when I saw, ooh, there's a lot of CSF repairs, and there's a lot of wound washouts.

And then I counted those up, and I'm thinking, "Well, 40-some of my 76 cases are Schneider complications.

Gosh, that's a, that's a high number.

That's a really high number." Because if I get a CSF leak in a year, that's, uh, that's unusual, and I had done a bunch of them in three months.

Even so, when he saw Dr. Schneider's physician assistant one day in the hallway, he pulled her aside.

I said, "I don't know how many cases he's doing, but there's a lot of CSF leaks and a lot of wound infections." And she said, "Uh, yeah, I don't, I think percentage-wise it's actually low.

He's just so prolific." So I thought, "Okay, okay," just thought it was just a numbers game.
