A hollow space where common sense and awareness of reality used to be.

The test thing smells like BS.

I recall doing a civil service exam where I was allowed to challenge test questions a month afterward. The test I took ended up giving many a higher score because some questions were unanswerable on the information given or the answers were incorrect.

In no way did anyone do worse after the challenge period.

It could only increase one's score.

How exactly did they manage to both fail and pass people on errors? That would have been more obvious to notice, provided they actually had checked. I wonder what is the normal procedure and how did it take a year to discover.

I'm sure many that failed but should have passed knew that something was up.

And in that hollow space dwell unspeakably evil entities.

The GMC for some years have not featured a majority of medical doctors on its committee. Public opinion identified it as a boys club. A club which supported its own in preference to honesty and transparency, to the detriment of the public.

The RCP have recently entangled themselves with the issue of Physicians assistants, got very messy.

So two corner stones of medical practice have succumbed to the modern malaise of incompetence. I would even go as far as moral degeneracy!
