I must say, i have not read this thread for a while, but some of the last posts are a little discouraging, and i think a little unfair. Anyway, a few points:
1) as i understand, at the current time, you get nothing for completing years 1-3/4 of medicine, but there is talk of giving BMedSci (not BSc) to students who fail after year 3.
2) Leeds has a pretty decent support system for Phase II and III nowadays. I agree there have been instances of harsher treatment of Phase I students (ie years 1-3) but after third year the faculty are much more understanding of problems, and i know many people who have been treated fairly by staff and offered good support. So i wouldn't scream "Leeds has shit support" from the mountains quite so loudly.
3) What happened was an absolute tragedy. However, Medical school does not apply that kind of pressure...
