To find out that the university made a mistake of giving you your degree on your graduation day just to suspend you 10 days after you've started work as a Foundation Year 1 doctor.
Read full story at BBC.
To add salt to the wound, the hospital trust that the 4 doctors has been working for informs the whole world that they're reviewing the patients looked after by them, reassuring that nobody was hurt or killed while they were being cared for by these newly qualified doctors. I wonder if anyone knew that doctors do make mistakes from time to time and the chances are higher with any newly qualified doctors.
How can this ever happen? And of all places, in the UK. I even went to double check if my 'pass' was still shown on my online result page. Phew, at least it's still there.
Another thing is, what if the module which was marked wrongly was something like the Critical Thinking Module or even one of the Special Study Module which we have to pass at Liverpool medical school? Will that really affect our competency in treating patients?
Who's studying medicine at Cardiff University? My condolences. No doubt the doubting will go on for quite a while.
