I immediately thought of Benford’s law Considering the months as their numbers 1, 2, 3..
“A logarithmic scale bar. Picking a random x position uniformly on this number line, roughly 30% of the time the first digit of the number will be 1. A set of numbers is said to satisfy Benford's law if the leading digit d (d ∈ {1, ..., 9}) occurs with probability[10]”
A really cool episode of Connected: The Hidden Science of Everything on Netflix, explains the law really well, and has IRS help explain (elusively) how it’s used to detect fraud in real life.

Nope! Doctors are independent contractors. They also have a right called Refusal to Treat, that nurses don’t have the privileges of either.
