Good for you

And a tip about medicine. Making sure that everything is documented and defensible in court is (sadly) more important than giving good care.

This is because even with the best care, people will die, and relatives will sue from time to time. Given how the US system works, this pushes doctors into a very defensive mentality.

Cheers,
Ben
