Medical Students do this stuff, they ain’t licensed... yet
Not before they have an md. As interns they practice under the surge ins license
There is a huge difference
But they are medical students. Hopefully in a teaching hospital. Hopefully there will a signed waiver.
The students are covered via provisos initialed by patients on the medical consent forms which allow, if so initialed, observations and limited participation by students or interested parties with direct interest in medicine as well as allowing video taping of said procedures in the interest in review or teaching. So a patient can opt out if they don’t want third parties involved. The big issue to me was that the CEO might not have had consent by the patient to allow him to so participate in the procedure. CEO’s always get accused of being “disconnected” from the work culture over which they preside.
I have mixed feelings about this and would like to know more. It may be more that someone had the “knives out” against this CEO and if it wasn’t this one thing it might have been something else.
