Wanted. Medical ethics opinions please...Re: Medical trainees/interns

7. I would talk to her first and hear what she has to say.

Not all doctors are members of the AMA, but their ethical guidelines are widely accepted as SOP.

If you do decide to report, you would report to the licensing board in the state. They would generally investigate and, if there were a number of complaints, they might act.

It's a difficult situation. I remember my first OB-GYN visit, and I was really, really nervous. Even if I had been asked if a trainee would examine me, I would have probably said yes just because of my own fear. But not being asked is just not right.
