Hi all, as you might guess from this post I have a very uncomfortable experience in one of my third year clerkships, the clerkship director himself, who is known for his short temper and harsh comments, basically humiliated, yelled at, attacked, and verbally abused me in front of the other group of students at every chance he could get, and even began making physical threats. During the clerkship I was on the verge of tears, and ready to hang myself, every morning before starting the clerkship with him I would scream at the top of my lungs, I talked with some about trying to get transfered out of the clerkship, but they were unsure how that would look to the school administration, and was told 5 weeks after the clerkship ended that I would repeat it and with the possibility of being placed under the same clerkship director, also recently since I brought this to the attention of the school's committee that this director lied to them about meeting with me privately to discuss repeating the clerkship which he said I agreed to, when I first brought this to the attention of the office of student affairs at my school, they told me basically that he is allowed to do whatever he wants in the name of teaching and verbatam that they torture students, and use intimidation to make people learn. Basically this has taken a huge toll emotionally and physically, I wouldn't want my worse enemy to be a student under his "care", beyond my grievance which isn't being taken seriously, what are my options lawsuit wise? anything I can/should do legally to warn other students about him? I know they want to use severe stress during this clerkship to make us "learn" but what happened to me was just plain mean and sick.
