*~*~*~*Back home from my last-but-one written test. Surgery. It was so easy it was stupid. I could've popped a DVD into the player and relaxed all evening yesterday instead of studying... Ah well. I didn't. I'm going to make up for it

"Yeah, so what if it was harder than the last? What if the questions were about stuff nobody but a few geeks in neurology know? I wanted it to be difficult, I wanted people to fail, and I meant to show the losers what happens when they set themselves up for an oral test with me..."
And I believed addled-brained sadistical monsters like that existed only in Italian universities...

(the target of the chamberpot, of course, is meant to be the neurology prof)

No, monsters like that exist here too. And pretty much anywhere else as well ~ luckily we're not in touch with all of them at the same time!

And I love the idea of throwing a (full, naturally) chamberpot in his direction. That'd be exactly the kind of argument he wouldn't expect! *grins evilly*

The law school is plastered with them as well. In my oral examination for the first bar exam two of my fellow students were crying their eyes out in the middle of the exam, because the examiners were so cruel. Grrr. I always imagine that mean profs have nothing to say at home and therefore must get their little kick of power at uni. *narrows eyes*

Have soooooo much fun in London! :)

Out of sheer curiosity: would you mind providing me with some examples of the questions the prof asked in the test ? Just to form an idea of how messed up the man is inside *g*

Sadly, we don't have the tests. Someone always tries to grab them, but it rarely works.
I don't remember everything, but he asked for stem cell transplantation (whether that is done with mesenchymal or embryonal stem cells in a special case) and for genes thought to be responsible for hereditary epilepsy. All sorts of shit that he mentioned "en passant" in the lectures, clearly followed by the comment "You needn't know this, it's really special neurology knowledge."
Which is why we're fuming.

If I ever get my hands on that test, I'll be sure to spread the word. The world needs to know these things happen.

0_0 That man has serious problems, really. Stem cell transplantation and genetics of epilepsy... holy crap ! This is dangerous madness. As if neurology did not offer complexities enough in its usual topics.

Yes, this perfidy is tipical of these repressed "I wanna-be-a-Noble-prize but this cruel and crassely ignorant universitary institution which has the underappreciated privilege of my presence will never notice my astonishing and formidable IQ, so I'm forced to resort to martyrizing my students in order to cope with my endless daily frustrations"-Profs *g*

(This deserves the chamberpot again - full chamberpot, of course)

[caduceus]

Heh! You really described him on the spot there... O_o* only that this doesn't cheer me up one bit.

This deserves the chamberpot again - full chamberpot, of course

I couldn't agree more!
