In principle, the Attending physician should be closely overseeing the work of their residents and interns. In practice, of course, this does not always occur. I am probably a bit biased regarding this matter since I regularly serve as an attending at a teaching hospital myself. You might consider discussing your concern with the attending physician. The bottom line though is that you have the right to demand that you be treated by the attending (supervising) physician only.
Good luck.
