But while those young doctors may make mistakes, the overall success rates in teaching hospitals is far greater than in any other. I would never get surgery done in a regional hospital, or allow my loved ones to do so, unless it was an emergency, because the complication rates, poor outcomes, are much, much higher. In fact, as a current retiree, I will always consider where I move to next, because I will want to be close enough to a major city, so that I will have access to a teaching hospital. You can however, explain your history to a new CRS at a teaching hospital, and he or she will sometimes fit you into a surgical slot that won't have any students present. Not all will comply, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask.
