Seems to me most people reckon the students did bad because of a pandemic and that ochem isn’t actually all that relevant in practical medicine. I think the students reputation would have been far more harmed by failing out.

If anything has suffered a reputation hit from this story it’s organic chemistry professors in general who are broadly being portrayed in threads like these as sadists who care more about failing out future doctors than teaching them practical know-how who slid into standard medical education through an accident of history despite ochem perhaps being more appropriate as an elective topic.
