What is the clinical risk associated with rose pruning An overenthusiastic or careless gardener could accidentally suffer a puncture wound from a rose thorn. This might happen regularly for a keen gardener. Potentially an individual could develop an infection in the wound and even septicaemia as a result. This could lead to death, a catastrophic event. When this is put into a risk matrix, i.e. a frequent likelihood and catastrophic severity, it is likely that the result will be evaluated as high risk. 

Secondly, and key to our likelihood discussion, the proposer has asked the question, What is the likelihood of puncturing your finger with a rose thorn The question he/she should have asked is What is the likelihood of puncturing your finger with a rose thorn AND this leading to an event of catastrophic severity This would yield a very different result. 

In Mycobacterium marinum infection (Califano et al. 1998), called fish-tank granuloma or swimming pool granuloma, the association of skin infection with aquariums and tropical fish has been noted. A prick from a rose thorn might also cause the infection. This is characterized by the presence of one papule, nodule or erythematous plaque with a verrucous surface on the dorsum of the distal phalanx of the finger. 

Protection against solid bodies The skin by reason of its physical resistance offers a certain resistance to the penetration of physical bodies. It prevents, for example, sand from penetrating, but not rose thorns or revolver bullets. This relatively feeble protection in general sufQces in everyday life. It is infinitely more fragile than the skin of a large carnivore or herbivore and, naturally, more fragile than those of animals such as the crocodile and the elephant.

For the healthy subject, everything has two sides. Roses have their thorns. But in ninety-nine percent of cases the normal subject balances the negadve against the positive. He loves roses in spite of their thorns. Schizophrenia, with its faulty associations, is not necessarily able to reconcile the two sides he loves the rose for its beauty and at the same time he hates it because of its thorns. The same holds true for numerous other ideas, both simple and complex, which have for him two affective valences which show themselves side by side or alternate one after the other, (cited in Grilliat 174, my translation)...

But earthlier happy is the rose distilled than that which withering on the virgin thorn, grows, lives and dies in single blessedness. 

The Tudor rose of Edward VI emerged from a pomegranate, the Israelite symbol of royalty and fertility. Queen Elizabeth I s Tudor rose bore the motto Rosa sine spina or rose without a thorn. It symbolized her identification with the Virgin Queen. 

Compared with time study, the standard data method has three advantages (1) cost of determining a standard is low (assuming you have a database with standard times) (2) consistency is Mgh because everyone using the database should get the same times and (3) ahead-of-production standards are helpful in many planning activities. But among these three roses are two thorns (1) you may not have the money to bmld the database (the databases are bmlt from stopwatch studies and predeter-... 

They are probably one of the most important medicines ever discovered. In fact many of you reading this book may have had your lives saved, or the lives or your parents or other relatives saved, by penicillin. It s hard to imagine now, in our modern antiseptic world, what life was like before antibiotics such as penicillin. Before about 1950 there were no real cures for infections, and people regularly died from infections they had contracted from trivial routes, such as insect bites or being scratched by the thorns of a rose bush. Every hospital in the developed world had a septic ward where the infected patients languished, either until their natural body s immune system successfully fought off the infection, or they died. The doctors could do very little to help these patients, except ease their suffering. Charles Fletcher, a doctor associate of Howard Florey, described this terrible situation as...
