MRI's were developed at Stony Brook University in the 70's based on work done in a military/academic setting with NMR. Ultrasound at the Naval Medical Research Institute and in Sweden. State of the art x-ray...well, I don't know which technology you're talking about. Laproscopic surgery was first done in Germany and Sweden. Advanced surgery techniques...that's a big field so you'd have to be more specific. Same thing for transplants. A lot of the group breaking transplant work isn't done in the United States at all due largely to worries about malpractice and issues with bioethical regulations.
So, yes, you are totally full of it Gruss and have no clue what you are talking about.
