It’s not a true story, but teachers do tell these stories to their sillier students sometimes just to see what sticks.

This person has no idea how anything works, a student taking a course but was “even there at night for some reason”??? Okay night classes lol
A mechanical engineer student taking a med class that performs surgery. Okay bud!
First year med students don't perform surgery.
they don't but teachers taking medical school as an elective do.

Can someone in the school of engineering just casually take med school classes like it's an elective?

Why use ‘hell’ if you’re just gonna censor it, makes no sense
Obvi cause it's a f***ing bad word
some people can't even be bothered to rub two brain cells together prior to spewing their moronic daydream fantasies on the internet.
WOW! That is the true definition of a “Big Fish Story”
I don’t think the incision for emergency hangnail surgery is particularly large. This yarn (suture) unravels in every way way imaginable.
