Hi experts,
 
I am new in stata and even newer in statalist.  I am having a heckprob problem for your help.  As below, I have hospital (dummy var) insignificant in the 2nd step modeling insignificant, but when I use mfx to calculate the marginal effects, it becomes significant.  Here is some of the output.
 
Your advices will be highly appreciated.
 
Thanks!
 
Lan
