  • Hence we often deny patients of the choice, “learning must be stolen” (Gawande 2002, 32). If we offer patients the choice to choose between the novice and the expert, then patients will often not be offered the choice. It may be more ethical to not allow anyone to choose, if learning must be stolen.
