In my final MBBS year at a famous Govt Medical College in Karnataka; you will be surprised to know the examiner had loads of bias in favour of fair sex. They just had to show up in practicals to pass. However it is a different matter that they had to clear theory themselves.
I was young & had an idea of this because our seniors had told us this is how exams are!!
I got thyroid MNG as my major case & cervical lymphadenopathy as my minor.
At the end of a gruelling session of 4 hours despite answering most questions I could feel something amiss.

On that day there were 4 girls & 3 boys for morning session.
You guessed it right, 4 girls passed along with 1 boy & I was not that.
I was left depressed, disheartened & felt damned for life.
However, life has to go on. I was in the infamous odd batch now & had to reappear.

The following 6 months of my life were the hardest at that point of time. In front of your eyes your classmates move on. I could never overcome that for a long long time.
Still managed to survive & cleared the exam under the same EP(enlarged prostate) guy!
Life moved on

Got into PG, moved abroad & came back.
Along the way about 8 years ago I was surprised to get a call from the same examiner asking me to endorse his son for a fellowship abroad.
I politely refused. He asked me why & I told him bcoz you never looked into the merit of a student.

After a day his wife another professor of mine called. She apologized for disturbing me & requested me to endorse her son's fellowship as it was very important to him.
Even though I wanted to say no, I obliged. She was a really good teacher & was very good to students.
Life !!!
