Ha! Me neither! My main doctors for my regular care are at a teaching

hospital, and I've had several surgeries there; there are always surgeons in

training in the OR with the experienced surgeons. I'm not awake to see what's

going on (probably main reason I'm put to sleep LOL), but I wouldn't be

surprised if the surgeon in training does a lot more than watch, under the

eye of the main surgeon. That's how they learn I think. I find that there's

more good than bad going to a teaching hospital, once you get to know the way

it is (like 10 people coming in your room on rounds every am).

Your right. My son was a patient at a teaching hospital and we had at

least 30 doctors visit us. We repeated the same information over and

over, and poor had to breath and cough for every one of them.
