In immunology class, everybody was discussing how the body reacts to certain microorganisms. One of the subjects covered was syphilis and how spinal taps can be done to confirm cases of syphilis. The instructor talked about a time she was on rotation, and one of the residents was trying to confirm a case of syphilis on a baby. The resident found out about the syphilis testing the cord blood of the baby, so the resident went ahead with the spinal tap before checking anything else (i. e. the mother's blood).

Anyway, long story short, a resident performed an unnecessary spinal tap on a baby.
