I'm not the person to whole you are talking but I also have a question. There was a meme or something about Cuban medical practices, and they mentioned people from the neighborhood coming along to watch the proceedings and give suggestions. While I don't think a layperson's suggestions are terribly likely to be useful, I do see benefits in making the process of medicine less magical and obscure.

Would you allow someone to tag along quietly even if they weren't seeking a career in medicine?

That's a tough question. Given how much people are wanting to shadow and how little free time I have at work, I'm unlikely to allow some non-medical people to shadow. That's probably the American medicine training speaking there, though.
