rant abt something so small

fair warning i’m ranting abt something really minuscule in a fictional story but it contains spoilers for anyone not caught up.

i’m catching up on updates and had to pause to get this off my chest real quick: i have never heard of a professor not taking doctors notes just cause it’s a summer class. like lmk if yall differ in experience but im entering senior year in college now and i have never encountered something like that, cause everyone knows so many things can happen in the 5 weeks a summer class is running and obviously in this story it did . your telling me as a professor your students show up with proof from a doctor of *serious* injuries and you STILL won’t budge in your nonsensical rule? even for students that have shown up everyday and do the hard work for your class? and mind you this is coming from a professor that started class a week late cause he had somewhere to travel to or some shit i don’t remember. i just think it’s so ridiculous to ask your students to understand your rule when there’s a real lack of logic or even empathy to the rule to begin with! and the worst part was the mc actually trying to understand!!! like, uhh no, you didn’t ask to be stabbed in the rain and hospitalized on a damn school day! the professor couldn’t lighten up even for that?! ridiculous. anyway enjoyable story so far. :)

    hi!! im a med student (not like them) but we also cant be excused from lab sessions or recitations even if we have med certificates because the things we miss out on cant be rescheduled (sooo ironic right?)

    im assuming since its a summer term = short term = every session is important for them HAHAHA

    another med student seconding this, we literally had someone who was in labor during class but stayed for the test because there were no retakes

    HOLY SHIT!! just got around to checking but wow, i didn’t realize that this was a norm for med students! makes complete sense now, but gosh that’s so hardcore. someone being in labor mid test but still finishing cause there’s no retakes? really truly, bless the med students for all of your hard work to becoming doctors. and thank yall for enlightening me and being nice about it! i wish yall good luck on med school too!

    labor? oh gosh.. this sounds so crazy but then we were told once not to be absent unless we’re in a critical state,, as long as we’re breathing we need to take it
