    . The Miami Herald reported 17 University of Florida anesthesiology trainees and one support staff member contracted Covid-19 after attending a party at a private home in early July. From the Herald article: “The UF Health outbreak illustrates the difficulties of stemming the spread of the pandemic, when even trained health care professionals can be sickened from a private party in Florida—one of the nation’s hot spots for the virus—after explicit warnings about the risks from social gatherings.”

    My take on this sad story is how can we expect the public to follow our recommendations if physicians can’t even follow the simple mitigation guidelines? I would like to see how the anesthesia call schedule looked this disaster.

    Heh, the last sentence is the best. If you were a resident on a ¼ rotation (I was ⅓, occasionally ½), and your colleagues are sidelined because they're morons...ooh there would be hell to pay.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      The urge to procreate is strong. Nothing like tomcats and residents, with respect to their sex drives.

        In fairness, society is long overdue for a more realistic and sober assessment of the expertise of any given MD on all things health related.

        Education is extremely important.

          Just for the record, our institution has an official “recommendation” banning any social activity outside the hospital where more than 5 people from the same dept are present.

          And dept head that has staff getting put in quarantine because of stupidities like that even outside the hospital is subject to discipline from management.
