Ethical Considerations Surrounding First Time Procedures: A Study and Analysis of Patient Attitudes toward Spinal Taps by Students.
Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal 1992;
2(3): 217-31. One hundred and seventy-three patients were surveyed concerning their opinions on first-time medical procedures by medical students, interns, and residents. A large majority of the patients wanted to know the experience level of the person performing a spinal tap on them, and even more would wish to be informed if it was the individual's first time performing such a procedure. Most patients recognized their right to insist on an experienced practitioner. [Source: Sugarman, J]
