About 13% to 25% of Americans ADMIT to being superstitious, though the number of people who pick up pennies and believe in Friday the 13th shows that the percentage should be higher. However, in the area of science and medicine, there is no superstition...or is there? What does the word "quiet" really mean in the ED? Is it or is it not related to patient volume?
