Stay Safe in July

But why is July such a risky time to seek medical care? As it turns out, July is when many new medical residents begin their training at hospitals across the country. While these new doctors are certainly well-educated and qualified, they may lack the experience and expertise of their more senior colleagues.

This can lead to a higher risk of medical errors, miscommunications, and other issues that can put patients at risk. So if you can avoid it, it’s a good idea to postpone any non-urgent medical procedures or appointments until after the new residents have had some time to settle in and gain experience.
