I about lost it. The arrogance to think I would allow someone who had never done a procedure before that could literally paralyze my wife.
I’ll let you in on a secret. Every med student or resident does a procedure on some patient for the first time. It’s hard to do the second one without doing the first.

Define “kid” a little better for this story that probably never happened
And I’m not sure how he expects doctors to be trained without you know, actually training
Someone is going to have to be the first…

ETA: I’m fairly certain as well for all 3 kids the epidural was done by a resident. It’s a very common procedure for them to practice on

Arrogant surgeon
Unnecessary adjective.

I’ll say this. After working at both academic and non academic hospitals. I think you may get better care at academic places because there are more eyes looking over your chart.
Often you have the intern, upper level resident, sometimes fellows, and the attending looking at your chart.
At a private hospital you may just have the admitting doctor and maybe a specialist looking at your chart.

"I have an M.D. from Harvard, I am board certified in cardio-thoracic medicine and trauma surgery, I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea.
So I ask you: When someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn't miscarry, or that their daughter doesn't bleed to death, or that their mother doesn't suffer acute neural trauma from post-operative shock, who do you think they're praying to?
Now, go ahead and read your Bible, Dennis, and you go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle - but if you're looking for God, he was in operating room number two on November 17th, and he doesn't like to be second guessed.
You ask me if I have a God complex - let me tell you something: I am God."

Good effort. For naught, probably, but oh well.

It’s an operation on the head. What does a gynecological hysterectomy have to do with it?
If you slip the surgeon a couple of hundred bucks, he’ll typically throw in a lobotomy to go with the hysterectomy.
