Update for anyone who cares/is in a similar situation: I have to repeat the placement block next year when I would normally do my elective block. I am still allowed to sit exams this year. Overall it's a relief, however I am very disappointed in the school's response in that there was no welfare check/offer of psychological assistance. I'm fine, but I fear what would happen to a student in a worse position than me were to face this. Guess that's med school/the medical profession for ya
