Medschool, disability, and failed exams

(ngl just wanted to get this out of my system but honestly would appreciate any advice/comments/etc on dealing with this absolute bullshit)

I failed my 3rd year OSCE resit. Im so frustrated, I don't understand the scoring of the stations and why I failed so many. One I was sure I'd fail, I didn't. One I was sure was good, I failed. It all seems to vary so much depending on individual examiners. ''Objective'' does not seem accurate. It's even worse bc I got over 50% both times but just didn't pass enough stations. The feedback given is generally useless. Now I have to repeat the entirelty of third year and it feels like so much goddamn effort is wasted.

So little accommodation is made for disabled students and I have felt the impact of that on my education my entire life, but medschool, particularly in the clinical phase, takes it to an extreme. With the amount of abled students burning out, it wasn't surprising to me but unfortunately that doesn't actually help with dealing with it. I'm just so fucking exhausted with having to fight and claw for literally the minimum consideration and still getting nowhere.

After the first failed sit I was sat infront of one of the vice dean and he asked why I failed, I explained that I had a chest infection at the time and still attempted the exams but ended up subluxating a rib 15 minutes before the start time of the first day. He expressed his disbelief at that occuring and made a joke about me drugging myself up to help the pain and going into the exam basically high. How is that appropriate conduct?

I haven't been shocked at the amount of ableism perpetuated by doctors and the medical industry in general in a long time, but I am constantly embittered by it. I don't trust them with my health, I don't trust them with my education, I don't even trust them to assess me accurately if I'm honest.

I honestly don't think/know if I can afford to retake the year. I currently am currently trying to juggle was is effectively a full time job with placement (which doesn't include teaching), actually teaching myself what we're supposed to know, 5+ different doctors regarding my own health, and then normal day to day functioning and life. Its not sustainable, but other than leaving medical school entirely, theres no other option. And I love medicine, I love seeing patients, the month I spent in community paediatrics was beyond inspiring but why do I have to suffer so much to even get a chance at achieving it?

OSCE statement of preliminary findings and conclusions about the Polish Parliamentary elections 2023:

"The 15 October parliamentary elections were competitive, and voters had a wide choice of political alternatives, but the ruling party enjoyed clear advantage through its undue influence over the use of state resources and the public media. The elections took place in a highly polarized environment and were perceived as being critical to Poland’s future on key matters, including the resilience of democratic institutions, personal freedoms and foreign policy. Contestants campaigned freely in a contest that was, unfortunately, characterized by the wide use of intolerant, xenophobic and misogynistic rhetoric. Holding a government-initiated referendum concurrently served to amplify the ruling party’s campaign messages, including through the support of state controlled companies, thereby undermining the separation of state and party and enabled some circumvention of campaign finance regulations. In a politically polarized media environment, and a generally narrowing space for independent journalism, the public broadcaster openly favoured the ruling party"….

Post from Donetsk today, about the killing of children in the U.S.-Ukraine war on Donbass. We protested for justice for Vladik and other child victims here in New York and around the world:

Remember the boy, whose name was Vladik Dmitriev. He was four years old when a grenade dropped from a Ukrainian drone tore him apart [in early 2021 -- one year before Russia's military intervention]. Then I had to "persuade" the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) mission for a long time to go to the place where the child died. They arrived a week later (I have kept all the correspondence). 

The reason was that the Ukrainian media and some "actors" of the humanitarian persuasion assured them that the boy was not there. Then they assured that since the boy had died, that was certainly because his grandparents kept grenades in the yard. Therefore, I had to send a birth certificate of the child, then a certificate of death and the causes of death. Then photographs of a small funnel with fragments spreading 360 degrees. Then I had to write that his grandfather had to "bury" a fragment of his grandson's hand, which he found in the firewood after the funeral.

It was only after that that they arrived. Then they wrote for a long time ... I even had to explain to them that Vlad's parents had an audio recording of a conversation with the OSCE mission staff.

This boy's death was not convenient. They tried to ignore it. But, fortunately, there were those in the institutions of European power that did not allow this.

Back then I met Vladik's parents, Katya and Sergey. They are very bright guys. Sergei was a metallurgist, and Katya was a kindergarten teacher. I know that she could not work there after the death of her son: the children reminded her of her son.

Today it was Katya who responded to the death of eight-year-old Nikita [killed by a Ukrainian strike on Donetsk on March 11, 2023]. She wrote, "I would really like to give his mother strength and patience. I would like to show her how close her pain is and that there are people for whom this is not just a roundup of news, but a part of life. Anyone who once faced the loss of a child knows that it will no longer be the same as before, that life is just a physical state. Mentally and in this comment, I send her strength, stamina and faith in myself and in God. Faith that we will meet with them, and this separation is not eternal. "To live in the name of the memory of my child was once the only clue for me in this life. Dear girl (I'm sorry I don't know your name), I'm with you with all my heart and soul and our children are always with us, no matter what happens.

"I keep photos of Vladik. Today I received a photo of Nikita. He is happy on it, next to the pool. It turns out that he was taken out for several weeks on vacation last fall. The woman who received Nikita was crying when she spoke to me. Today she has other children next to her, "the same as Nikita.”

Thanks to Katia Osminogova for sharing the link.

Jordi Vilanova speaks on behalf of the Catalan grassroots organization ANC in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)'s Human Dimension Conference to denounce Spain's lawfare strategy aimed at repressing the democratic Catalan pro-independence movement.

Spain’s repressive practices have been denounced by international organizations such as the Council of Europe, Amnesty International and the World Organization Against Torture, and endanger democracy. The OSCE should send the High Commissioner on National Minorities to visit Catalonia and report on the situation here.

Rusia își suspendă participarea la Adunarea Parlamentară a OSCE

Rusia își suspendă participarea la Adunarea Parlamentară a OSCE și nu își mai plătește contribuțiile. Georgiana ArseneAceastă decizie a fost luată de Consiliul Federației. Lipsa oportunității de a continua un dialog constructiv în cadrul organizației se explică prin restricțiile care se aplică parlamentarilor ruși, transmite @lomovkaa.
