A survived mode not Fighting mode

In the morning we discussed about the curriculum of Anaesthetics for medical students in another university in Bangkok, we had been informed that those students in that particular school would have a 4 week time slot, three weeks for the skills practice in the operating theatres, and one more week for the surgical critical care service teaching. Compared to our school which is focusing on preoperative evaluation and preparation with only an hour for SICU topic.

That has brought us a flashback when we were informed by the department chairperson that from now on we would have only two weeks for med students, not as three weeks, she just told us after she had promised the dean that we would be able to teach our students in a two-week slot, so we just a good follower, when our boss just gave a nod, we did have to do so. The curriculum has been five years old now with only two weeks, with a minor change nearly 2 years when a simulation was introduced to this course, we did not fight back after we have found out that it is a worldwide trend at the time from Ottawa to Melbourne just a two week slot. Although we have time with them only two weeks, but we are not the least, many schools in the kingdom do not have their anesthesiology grade on their student transcripts any more.

In the school with have a week longer into four weeks, we supposed that their faculties have united and fought back and realised what would be beneficial to their students. We will update this when we have more details, but for sure the mode between us and them is indeed totally different.
