I've been reading Complications by Atul Gawande, about his years as a surgical resident. It's true that residents don't have all their skills down, but they are being supervised by attendings and have to learn. We are the guinea pigs. But, OTOH, when an experienced doctor tries a new procedure with which they have limited experience, we are also guinea pigs. Doctors practice on human beings. It's the nature of the beast. I don't worry about it. I love teaching hospitals. I will only go to a teaching hospital.
