[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My siblings are physicians, they have to learn somehow. You can ask for them to observe and not participate if you're not comfortable with them being hands on, but please allow them in the room. [/quote]

Exactly.  Why would anyone be against students being present?[/quote]

Privacy, preference, not being uncompensated teaching materials, students attitudes as referenced elsewhere in the thread, disliking crowded rooms, and [b]candidly because someone being in the delivery room who’s interests are wholly selfish — not the mother or the child — is pretty gross anyway.[/b][/quote]

Is it gross if they are present for poor people's deliveries instead of yours, or is that not gross because that's where they should be doing the learning instead of with you?[/quote]

They should be learning on people who are being compensated— either with free medical care or with money. My insurance doesn’t shell out $50,000 for me to be instructional material for someone in the room hoping something “cool” (i.e dangerous to me or my child) happens so they can see it. [/quote]
