You can do it with a visit visa... How come???
Well, you are not getting paid - so you are not employed... Externship/Observership is generally voluntary and decided by the hospital to give it or not... So if you have a good working relationship with the person allowing you to do the observership, you should be fine. They are always going to say that you need malpractice insurance... but remember you are not going to be involved in direct patient care (you are not going to be deciding in the care and for that matter not even touching the patient.. no physicals!!)
So you should be fine...
I am not a lawyer, this is my opinion

It is controversial...
because INS will view any work that is reimbursable as a potential job. For example, if an american were to do the same work you are planning to do and he would expect to be paid, so would INS expect you to be paid.
