The decision to suspend students for one year and lower school conduct is necessary, not only to handle a specific violation but also to protect the core values of the medical industry.
The medical profession is a special profession, medical students must be trained in personality, ethics and culture of behavior right from when they are still in the lecture hall.
What disappoints many people is the inappropriate behavior of those who are being trained to become medical practitioners in the future.
A threat of "poison injection" can be uttered while joking or impulsive, but when the speaker is a medical student, its meaning is completely different.
No one requires medical students to become perfect people. But at least, they must understand the boundaries between fun and offense, between personal freedom and professional responsibility.
Unfortunately, in the age of social networks, many young people are being drawn into the race to attract views, likes, and seek attention by all means.
Some people are willing to make shocking statements, offensive behaviors in exchange for a few minutes of fame.
The two students in this case had to pay the price with a year of interrupted studies, with a ripple in their training records, and with lessons that are not easy to forget.
However, what is noteworthy is that the school has chosen a strict disciplinary form but still opened up the opportunity to correct mistakes.
If expulsion is closing the door to the future, then suspension is a time to reflect, look back at yourself and become more mature.
Education is not only about punishing but also helping people who make mistakes have the opportunity to correct their mistakes.
Everyone can make mistakes, especially in youth. The important thing is to recognize where the mistake is and how to change it.
According to information from the school, the two students expressed remorse and accepted the disciplinary form.
That repentance needs to be expressed through specific actions in the coming time, through serious training to regain the trust of teachers, friends and society.
This incident is also a reminder to many young people. Social networks are a free space, but not where you can say whatever you want.
A thoughtless statement can become a long-lasting mark, affecting the speaker's own studies, work and reputation.
A year of suspension from school is a heavy punishment, but if it helps the two students realize the value of medical ethics, know how to respect others and know how to take responsibility for their words, then it is also a positive thing.
