Reply #7: Watching - Yes. Practicing on - Hell NO.

I think that when people go to a hospital, university or otherwise, they expect that their doctor and perhaps a few nurses and assistants will be doing the operating. If the university has a gallery in the OR for students to sit in and watch from — fine. But the idea that once under anesthesia my body becomes an undergrad gynecological free-for-all, crosses the line both ethically and morally. Probably legally. Where do they draw the line? The doc says, "Hey, I'll be up here cutting on the uterus for awhile, why don't you kids take this opportunity to poke around in the vagina . . . practice your speculum techniques or take a few scrapings of the cervix if you're up to it." "Don't forget to run a camera up the poop chute while you're down there . . . snap a few photos. It'll be good for a chuckle and you can put it on your Curriculum Vitae." Aaaaargh.
