Be especially careful everywhere

[lawrocket 3]

All right, folks. It's never good to get injured, but it's particularly bad at certain times. Namely through the end of June and all of July (even August).

Why? Because july 1 is officially when all the new doctors rotate in to start their residencies. Fresh from med school, they are recognizable by the "deer in the headlights" look.

They are all in orientation right now, so please, be especially careful. You don't want a rookie fixing that femur...

You can do it now . . . just wrap yourself in bubble wrap. It provides protection, AND it'll make a really cool sound!

Would that be the big or the small bubbles??

I was thinking big bubbles, wrapped around 2-3 times.

Yeah, but you got it with residents having 10 or 11 months experience. See, you picked the best time for it! That's what I mean.

Fantastic - does this mean I get to sue the hospital and become a multi-millionaire if the new rookie doc jacks up my bone graft????

If it is a "breach of the standard of care" then the answer would be yes. I defended a rookie who breached the standard of care in his perfomance of an open reduction/internal fixation of a right subtrochanteric fracture. He and his second year resident placed a 10-hole, 90 degree supracondular nail plate to act as the fixation with a 75 mm condylar screw when he should have reduced the fracture to 135 degrees.

Mind you, that sugery took place in, I believe, September....
