Every doctor was a student at one point.

I understand every patient has the right to deny students in the room. It is understandable, one's health is a personal matter. I understand it is good to allow people the option to say no. But it just seams asinine that someone would say no. They are willing to have the doctor examine them but won't allow a student to observe?Medicine is tricky that way. You learn from humans. You practice on humans. Without the opportunity to learn and observe, doctors would not be where they are today. Every doctor was a student at one point. They got to where they are because of willing patients. Why someone would turn away students, who are eager to learn, just seams selfish. You are hurting the future by turning away students. Alas, this is going to be someone I deal with for many years. I understand each patient has their own rights and I will not fight them. But I still am going to be upset each time this happens. I would allow any student see anything on me, if they are there to learn why not? I'll always be willing to let someone learn from me. I would be grateful to be used in that way.
