""What advice do you have for someone at my stage of professional development who is worried about losing a student to serious injury or death? You know, when will the law of averages catch up with me?" Petzoldt looked at me with his bushy eyebrows pulled into a from and in a booming voice growled, "Are you a fool?" I replied, slightly irritated by the tone of his question, "No, I am not a fool." "Well," he said, "if you aren't a fool, then you will never lose anyone, I don't care how many student-days worth of experience you have!""
