You guys were lucky. I couldn't even get a day off of my sub-I to bail my mom out of jail. My senior resident reamed me out for slacking because I was on my phone for two days trying to get someone else the money to secure her release.
The chief resident caught wind that my senior resident was being a major ***** to me from the junior residents. I was told by the chief told that her evaluations of me would not affect my grade because she was being so unreasonable on multiple issues.
So I finally got my P grade on my sub-I back right before my applications for residency were supposed to be sent out. The P grade was almost entirely based on that one resident's evaluation, as I had virtually a different attending every day and they barely knew who I was. I contested the grade which held things up for another 1-2 months. I got e-mails from two residency programs asking where my transcripts were because they wouldn't invite me to interview without them. Who knows who many interviews the delay cost me.
Screw medical school.
