Seven years is a big waste, but his own fault at the end of the day. Would you trust a colleague to treat your child, knowing they'd cheated their way through med school?Tip of the day, don’t cheat in exams

He wrote the names of the various muscles on his actual muscles. When he started to strip to see the correct name for the gluteus maximus the game was up.
D'oh! 
That said if I were seeing a GP and they didn't know the answer to my question off the top of their head I'd much rather they cheat and look it up in one of their books or shock horror the internet!
Exams are rarely representative of real worlds conditions!

Sounds like he'd just cheat in that lesson.

A guy on my course cheats quite regularly, both on his exams and the drug's test he's had.
I thought it was 5 years normally?
Did this guy do a foundation year and an intercollated degree or something? Or was he a junior doctor already and cheating in whatever exams F1/F2 types sit?
Surely he's either already got a BSc from the extra year or already has a medical degree?

to be honest, they're only ever going to try and bust you for cheating in your final exams. Otherwise, they bust you in your first year then they've just lost a student for that academic year. Bums on seats and all that.
they'd rather let you get on with it, lull you into a false sense of security so that you become lax, and then bust you in your finals.

wow, poor fella!
I cheated in my GCSE French written exam many years ago. I was alright at all the other subjects (C's and B's) but really couldn't get on with French.
To do it I wrote up as much vocab as I could fit in a relevantly sized area, printed it off in 6 or 8 pt script and then cut it to size. I carefully peeled the wrapping away from full regular plastic coke bottle, put the paper behind (with the text facing inward) and resealed it; the glue's quite sticky so it holds together fine. Whenever I couldn't remember something I'd drink the coke down to the "et tu's", or whatever bit I needed and put it back on the table and just look at what I needed from there. If it was around the other side then i'd have another little drinky.
Most bottles of coke etc... have text written inside the label with their T&C's for some competition they're having, or whatever, so it doesn't look out of the ordinary at even fairly close inspection and the shape of the bottle gives it some magnification allowing you to fit quite a lot of text on the sheet inside.
he should have done what I did, I mean it doesn't take a doctor to work that one out.
still got a D mind!

7 years down the drain does seem extremely harsh for that lapse of judgement. Maybe if there was evidence he had cheated all his other exams as well then I could understand, but that one exam sounds like it was the only one... It doesn't even sound like that bad a cheat - is knowing the name for all the muscles really an important part of being a doctor? Anyway, I'd have thought that making him resit the year would be a harsh enough punishment... Poor guy.
Still, that's what you get for cheating in such an obvious manner (looking at your gluteus maximus can hardly be subtle, really!).

Haha that's fantastic! You deserve at least a B for the creativity that went into that! If only op's mate had done that...

Oh my...
My joker of a mate cheats on most of his exams. The last time we were both in one, he had a 50 page thick booklet of revision notes for that subject stuffed down his jeans as well as formulas written all the way up both arms. A few toilet breaks later and he was finished.
No idea how people like that don't get caught.

As others have mentioned, why did it take him 7 years to do the 5 year degree?
Glad he got cleaned out, not very professional to cheat, doesnt deserve to pass, end of basically, shame we wasted so much money training him.

Potential doctor has to get his arse out to remember the correct name for gluteus maximus. Probably best he didn't graduate, to be honest.
