OK, the magic finally worked. And lo, data was produced in a form which yeilds information (because data is just that, data, and don't mean squat until it is interpreted into information). Then I started counting cases. For a week. For three surgical services.
The number did not appear... correct.
And so there is a small side trip into the total number of cases for the same week, for all services, and then narrow it down fo the three services. Do not ask for any other data, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
I've been looking at the hourglass for, oh, 3 x 10^6 records and counting (bit over three million, eh?). And still counting. And counting.
Where's that damn bunny?
