12th month HO

I quote someone, "No one is more dangerous than the 12th month HO."

I disagree with that statement. The 12th month HO is in fact the safest HO, because the experienced HO knows how to handle the different scenarios that can happen to a patient and is able to institute immediate life-saving measures promptly. Other than being proficient in the daily procedures, he/she is also able to navigate the hospital administration and get urgent scans or operations arranged.

If I may alter the statement, "No one is more dangerous than a HO who doesn't care."

And that is the pitfall we must refrain from. Although the end seems near, patient care is ever ongoing. We cannot stop caring and must always do things in the interest of our patients.
