the young doctor must have failed his medical OSCE...
That's funny, Fahim,
They never had an OSCE for dating! It is just some flirting, at various occasions, a few dances during the year, then Christmas Party and the champagne flows, girls get chocolates and flowers and then someone gets caught under the mistletoe. If that had been a structure exam for dating and finding a potential wife, he would have gotten an A+.
In fact they never had what is currently OSCE, each person might get a different pair of examiners, but they had professors from other Medical Schools to observe that there was fair play and that the tests were tough and rigourous.
So after all, she became pregnant, so the young doctor aced the test and had won a beautiful bride! So the system works and everyone is happy!
In my time at Medical School I know that the percent of blood groups matching the first newborn was approx 35-40% as the girl simply went,
"Eeney, meeny, miny moe!" *
and pointed to one of her last 5 boyfriends and awarded him fatherhood and informed her father at the same time!
Everyone was cool with that and the guy was happy. In those days who did paternity tests? No one asked for blood test results, they were scared to find out, I expect! We just were recognizing the double helix, LOL!
Now it's more fussy, and even the drip ahe hooked up with just once in a stop over to Vegas, has a right to claim parenthood!
The "free" hookup has led to some of the finest relationships and brilliant offspring! It avoids inbreeding and recessive diiseases. Folk can smell an ideal mate from their natural scent. Impulse might be a great think beyond pleasure. It actually strengthens the human bloodlines by avoiding arranged marriages in a closed community.
