I know that it's a radical view, but I do think the decision about what you can/can't do is yours to make (with the help of the doctors), and that taking back his offer to reschedule was a totally shitty thing to do.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yes, I agree that it is a shitty thing to do. However, I think the professor may feel he is coming from a valid POV. Whether he is or not? knowing vw, I don't think so.

He may; he may even be saying something perfectly decent (e.g., "I'm sorry to hear that you're sick, and concerned about how you'll be able to handle it.") in a completely foot in mouth way.
Takebacks when he'd already allowed a makeup, otoh, is pure shitty whatever the motivation.

Yup. If you decide that you want to keep this class, you should probably go over his head with regard to this exam.

Well, yeah, if they followed the rules, but this company, nsm. Plus, I should have acess for my cross-brand discount for the next two weeks and to use it I need my stub in hand. I want to take care of this company a little more.
