I see nothing wrong with T's using their patients anonymously as instructional case scenarios or examples in presentations. Patient problems and clinical scenarios are important learning tools. They give students a chance to problem-solve, see the complexities of patient care, and explore potential outcomes of various treatment approaches.

Behindthemoon what you described, the video taping and feeling like his lab rat, sounds is a bit over the top.

If you are a part of a formal research study, it should be fully disclosed to you BEFORE the treatment starts and you should have the option of declining without it hindering your overall care.
