Do doctors-in-training need to violate sedated patients to learn about medicine?

Asked by Aster (20023points) January 30th, 2011

It appears that in Australia and the UK unconscious patients on the operating table are being examined and probed by medical students without their consent. Has this always been done and do you think it’s necessary and acceptable in order to learn their “trade?”
