At least with the horizontal mount and the grounded conductor blade up, you would not have a "big flash" like you still could if the ground blade were up. It's believable that the plate could still come in contact with the ground blade and the ungrounded blade with the ground blade in the up position. Assuming that the logic for mounting the receptacle in the ground up position to avoid the "big flash".
Come on hospital people what's the reason for mounting the receptacle in the "ground up" position.

Hey Fretwell- let's hear from ya.
