I can't find a link to the story, but read in my local paper today that some medical schools have decided to stop allowing 2 to 4 medical students do pelvic exams on female patients who are anesthetized, but prior to Gyn surgery. Apparently, some of the students complained that they felt it was unethical to do these exams without the consent of the patient.
I just have one question. Why did these schools need MEDICAL STUDENTS to point out that procedures performed on anesthetized patients without prior consent might be illegal??
