I was studied by med students (during a doctor visit) as a child, nobody even asked. What's so different?

  The general public was allowed in as spectators at "The incubator doctor" with only their curiosity as a reason. The med students have a real need to observe patients and conditions as part of their training.

    Yes, but from my perspective (back then as a child, but it didn't change much) it's absolutely the same, I am being studied and I don't like people studying me, especially without even asking. My perception does not care about professions of humans that look at my body.

      They didn't ask your parents or legal guardian? My experience in teaching hospitals is that the students back off if asked to do so but I think the request needs to come from the legally responsible person.

  I was too and it made me quite uncomfortable. It's one of the few things I still remember from my hospital visit.
