Oh yeah, don't go quizzing anyone. especially if you are prone to sounding pedantic or something. And really be aware of circumstances. if everyone's handling a crisis in the ICU or something, don't go pulling off any remark that's irrelevant to the situation. And if you don't get too well along with an attending, well, don't go asking too much to him either.

Mmm don't underestimate the power of speaking Hebrew in certain places like NY.
