A postal questionnaire was distributed to all students who had discontinued, for any reason, their studies at Aberdeen Medical School. Opinions were sought about their experiences while there, as well as their reactions to the discontinuation therefrom. Claiming that learning to cope with stress was an essential aspect of their professional development, these students were dissatisfied with the extent to which the staff responded to students in need and took their problems not to professional welfare agencies but mainly to family and friends. Almost unanimously they supported the notion of a Student Counselling Service. Problems of adaptation and content of studies were the two items regarded as having made the greatest contribution to their discontinuation. For some of these students and their families, discontinuation had been a distressing experience, but all but one student agreed that they had gained something from their period at medical school, however brief. The medical school can learn much from those who pass out prematurely and not only from those successful on the final day.
一份邮政调查问卷被分发给所有因任何原因中断在阿伯丁医学院学业的学生。问卷征求了他们在医学院期间的经历，以及他们对中断学业的反应。这些学生声称学会应对压力是他们职业发展的一个重要方面，他们对工作人员回应有需要的学生的程度不满意，并且工作人员不是将他们的问题提交给专业福利机构，而是主要交给家人和朋友。他们几乎一致支持设立学生咨询服务的想法。适应问题和学习内容是被认为对他们中断学业贡献最大的两个因素。对其中一些学生及其家人来说，中断学业是一段痛苦的经历，但除了一名学生外，所有学生都同意，无论时间多么短暂，他们在医学院期间都有所收获。医学院可以从那些过早离开的人身上学到很多东西，而不仅仅是从那些在最后一天取得成功的人身上学习。
