Strength in Numbers

I have my very first/second publication coming out in less than a month (technically the second one, but the first is still 'in press') and yesterday, Doc Query gave me a copy from the journal to proofread. It may have been the highlight of my day (Young Bo's present of origami cut people is tied as a co-highlight).

Doc Query: Did you check if these references are right?

Moi: Yeah, I checked that the numbers match up with the bibliography and the tables.

Doc Query: But did you go back to each article (there about 60) and check if this study really had 39 patients?

Moi: Psh. It wasn't my job to read the studies.

Doc Query: Well, you're going to jail with the rest of us.
