Your husband's experience isn't the ONLY experience. My class dropped by 10% after the first year and I graduated with four people that had originally started in other classes but failed classes in their first two years. You absolutely can fail medical school. Some schools DO check attendance. I had classes that I never went to, but I had others that would drop you a letter grade if you missed more than a certain number. And what your precious PhD doesn't tell you is that no matter what your attendance is, if you can't pass Step I of the USMLE, you can't pass second year of medical school. You get two chances...people DO flunk out of medical school for failing this test. The awesome thing is that people that go to medical school are smart and driven people who don't all have to go to class to make the grade. Unfortunately, some PhD professors at Medical Schools are jealous of their students potential and will continue to be jealous until the end of time. That is the truth of the matter.
