Does this sound odd to anyone else, but the hospital I observed in never asked for any proof of my identity or anything. I just called them, told them I was a student and that I wanted to observe an anesthesiologist. They told me to come two days later. I followed the anesthesiologist around half the day from OR to OR and then spent the second half of the day in the OR for two complete surgeries, start to finish, with the anesthetist. One of the patients who was being operated on had MRSA too. They never once saw my ID, called the school to verify who I was, or had me sign any releases or anything. This may not be very uncommon, I don't know, but it just seemed a little odd to me.
