"Research published this year in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine found that fear of the newbie effect is greatly overblown. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic examined the outcomes of spinal operations at 1,700 hospitals over eight years and found that infection rates, complications and deaths after surgery were about the same in July as any other month, despite the involvement of young doctors. Where the research is unanimous is that, in July, care is less efficient. Things that happen routinely, such as patients being prescribed wrong doses of medicine, duplicate and unneeded tests, and patients being discharged too quickly (or too slowly) tend to happen more often in July, when the new doctors arrive."
