That's the problem with the typical med school. They got beat, and now they're going to waste **** tons of money and time in court and soil their reputation even further. Like the average administration of a med school, they're immature control-obsessed people that can't stand the thought that what they do is incorrect. Instead of moving on, they're going to push and push and push and I still highly doubt anything else will change. As you go into a higher and higher actual court and public spotlight, it's just going to favor the student more. Especially due to the fact that the student initially won the case(no pun intended) and it's the medical school who is essentially trying to end the student's career. I bet their legal team is crying itself to sleep. If you are a medical school and ever trying to get a student for "unprofessionalism," you want it to stay in house as much as possible. As we elevate this concept legally, the whole abstract nature of this BS policy just gets contemplated more and more, and the judges see it for what it is. BS. I'd bet any amount of money that the appeal changes nothing.
Also, I always just love when things like this happen. ( sarcasm) The administrators act like the one incident they catch of this type of stuff is an outrage, when they could find 50 incidents of it every year. Like someone else said, those school dances and stuff, you could get 1/4 of the class on "unprofessionalism" on one night alone, easy. It's really annoying there is this all or nothing policy where the moment the issue is addressed, the student faces terrible punishment, yet 99 % never have any mention of it and just keep repeating the same behavior.
My last comment is also how this was postponed to the end of the student's career and made to screw them as much as possible basically. Gotta love that. Stuff like this is why we have " I hate medical school " threads.
