Consider this scenario:
You get a chance to meet with your fellow classmates for lunch in the hospital cafeteria during a busy clinical day. One of your classmates is bursting with excitement as you sit down to eat. "You won't believe what I got to do today! I was taking care of Mr. Jones, a patient in the ICU and he started to go bad, and we had to intubate. Then he coded, and I got to do CPR! It was so cool!"
This has happened and I have had discussions with preceptors about this.
What do you think is the problem with this? What violation has your classmate committed?
What are the possible consequences of this scenario and what action should you take?
Is this situation a breach of ethics or a violation of law?
