Looking at the “July myth”: Is June 30th more dangerous than July 1st?

“One can argue that June, rather than July, is the worst time to be a patient. I don’t mind a young doctor who is scared but eager to learn, but I do very much mind that same doctor 11 months later when his knowledge base has increased o­nly modestly compared with his fatigue and false confidence.We have taken great pains to come up with comparison between the July 1st vs. June 30th housestaff to see just which is more dangerous.” (via The “Future” of Medicine)
