If you had a medical condition that requires a surgical operation, would you allow a surgeon in training to operate on you?
Or would you only agree to be operated on by a certified surgeon? Why?

No, I would not. I had a bad experience at a dermatologists office. I had a very tiny but very black spot on my chest, and I wanted it to be removed. I had a large mole removed on my hand in my 20's, and the scar is a tiny cross, no bigger than 1/4". The physicians assistant, whom I normally saw when I visited that doctor, asked me if it was all right to have a trainee do the excision. I said yes, not realizing that she would be a hack.
I now have a scar over an inch long on my chest, which looks like a Satans' cross. The wound became infected and the entire surrounding area turned bright red and stayed that way for almost a year. After the infection set in, I was told never to expose the scar to the sun.
