heartbreaking💔 the university shouldn’t of let it escalate to this?!!

Poor lad got to the end of third year , so was obviously capable of something, yet was given 4/5 weeks notice for an exam he failed – failed and was withdrawn over email. So many medical schools in England allow you to resit a year without extenuating circumstances eg Kings College, EU countries like Bulgaria , your allowed unlimited sits as long as you pay , the same drs practicing in this country yet this poor lad was withdrawn without a resit yr . What would he have lost from a resit yr?
Why didn’t Birmingham just give him a year to resit , support him and ask him what support he needs as often 3rd year is the first clinical yr making a change to the style of learning . Such a tragic loss
Drs get 6 attempts for post graduate exams albeit harder so why wasn’t this kid allowed a 3rd opportunity or an extra year , why is there such a difference in medical schools in this country where some let you resit a yr regardless of reason yet Birmingham don’t. So many current Drs will have had to resit a yr just a shame this young man wasn’t given a chance. After a whole yr resitting but 4/5 weeks notice for a resit which he failed doesn’t sit right for me.

He chose to go to this school – you have to follow the script.

A lot of medical schools have this rule. It costs a huge amount of money to train these students, and the student takes on a huge financial burden. Only to be kicked to the curb if they fail a resit
Shocking that this hasn’t been curtailed yet, its an archaic rule

Damn that’s so awful 😞
I remember how stressful uni exams were. I literally had dreams about them up to a decade later
I have heard in US their uni’s can pause and put on hold university stuff for various life reasons if needed.
Idk if that’s every us uni or what
We need a more active approach to mental health and stress stuff when it comes to studies. We really have a climate of despair in the UK even when things are getting better in some areas

I knew this guy and saw him grow up, he really was such a kind and joyful person, the last person I ever would have expected to take his own life, was one of the most shocking and sad things I’d ever heard. I can’t give much insight into the procedural processes of the Uni, all I can say is it’s just so sad that a brilliant person is no longer with us.
