?startWith=<item_id>&sortBy=<alpha|datetimedesc|whatever>In teaching hospitals in the US, orthopedics is a 5 year residency (after 4 years of med school). Technically residents are in training but they are MDs.
Oftentimes (again in teaching hospitals) attending surgeons (the person whose clinic you went to) might “run two rooms” in parallel. Usually because there is a lot of prep time, anesthesia time, etc so they offset patients allowing them to tackle more cases in a day.
To the general public this sounds super horrible but in practice you were likely operated on by a 4th or 5th year training, ie someone with 12 years of medical training if you include premed undergrad. And the attending was likely in the room and maybe even did the hard bits of the surgery.
It’s a tricky balance because running two rooms ultimately may keep costs down (more productive, etc) and can provide more opportunities to train the next generation of surgeons.

From a policy perspective, it’s not clear that unvaccinated individuals will stay home with symptoms since some percentage of them seem to think is not real, not a real threat, etc.
Edit: summary article that covers some of this (though keep in mind science is still working through this and each variant changes things) https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2021/new-data-on-covid-19-trans...
A couple things I found confusing:
- I don't have flash installed in Safari (comes packaged in Chrome) and there was no explanation as to why music didn't play back when I was in Safari
- initially Rdio playback was limited to 30s samples even though I had my Rdio account linked. I think I fixed this by logging into Rdio in the same browser session, but not certain
The ISPs will help during a DDOS but response times are slow and we haven't tried getting them to put this type of block in place yet.
