The health university makes 80% attendance for practical training sessions compulsory for medical students. It goes without saying that 100% attendance is expected of the teachers. The students often attend because of the compulsion rather than out of a burning desire to acquire knowledge. Since attendance is marked based on their physical presence, irrespective of the time of arrival on the scene, they arrive as shown in the following animation I made specially for this post. Green clothes indicate the students are being taught in the operation theater, in between two operations, so that they can understand what they see during performance of the operations after the teaching session.
(Note: I had placed a GIF animation here, but it does not loop as required, because of image resizing issue of Google. Finally I settled for posting individual images instead, to be viewed in sequence.)
Please note the time, correlate it with the number of students, and the total number reached towards the end of the teaching session, never exceeding 7 or 8 out of 10. The word 'woes' in the title is about the woes of the students for having to attend the teaching sessions, and woes of teachers resulting from the disinterest shown by the students.
