Private physician shadowing for high school students

Is there a difference between private and hospital shadowing? I wanted to shadow surgeons but the hospitals near me have a limit to the length of shadowing and I was hoping I could shadow for a longer period of time.

No reason to shadow in high school

Why not?

And why not?

Because more than half the people in high school who think they want to be doctors change their mind before getting to organic chemistry 2 in college. As a high school kid you don't have the same "fear of god" in you about losing your career due to hippa violation and I wouldn't take you to shadow my patients.

Just get good grades, stay out of trouble and enjoy childhood. Plenty of time to shadow as a college student

Yeah, fair enough. We're forced to shadow physicians and other scientists in the AP science classes so I have no choice.
