"He Probably Won't Kill Anyone"

Another fellow stops me in the hall.  "I see you're working with [resident] this month."

"Yeah."

"Watch out. His clinical judgment isn't the best."

"How bad are we talking?"

"Well, he probably won't kill anyone."

"Probably?"

"Yeah, probably.  They're trying to get him to transfer to a different hospital."

"So he can probably not kill anyone there?"

"Yeah, but, you know, some places are really desperate for residents."

"Residents who probably won't kill anyone."

"Right.  They have him doing some easier rotations, in case it's the hours that are messing him up.  He's at the nursing home next month."

"An easier place to probably not kill anyone."

"An easier place to probably not be blamed for it."
