[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a question?  Is Sibley considered a teaching hospital?  I had a gym procedure there in 2004 where I was under anesthesia (not general but it was like an amnesiac I think).  The doctor asked at the last minute if I’d be okay with residents or students observing and I said yes because I felt put on the spot.  I was sort of shocked when I saw because it turned out to be a huge group but I didn’t feel like I could retract my permission at that point.  I remember when I “woke up” I was sobbing.
I don’t think of Sibley as a teaching hospital, but is it possible that some of the students practiced on me?
Maybe unrelated, but in my first pregnancy (a year or two later), I had a rare complication that is often associated with previous uterine damage.  [/quote]

Your last paragraph has nothing to do with your previous paragraphs. Totally illogical.[/quote]

You response was not very kind, or very helpful.  
Here's the logic.  The procedure I had done was a D&C for a missed miscarriage (my first and only D&C).  The condition that I had a year or two later is correlated with people that have had multiple D&C's or previous uterine rupture/scarring.   If the D&C was done poorly, or if the med students were given an opportunity to do some of it, I guess it might have increased the chances that I would get the condition that I did get.  (For people without previous risk factors, it was like a 1 in a thousand or smaller chance, so it was pretty weird that I got it.)  I don't know that they even touched me, much less assisted in the actual procedure.  But I was kind of grossed out when I realized how many people had been present, and the idea (even 15 years later) that they were touching me is even grosser.
