"I hadn't seen either test, but they still didn't want me calling people," Ho said.
She said she rested comfortably at UHS, receiving intravenous fluids until she regained her strength.
Once she was significantly recovered Thursday morning, Ho finally started her first exam, taking it in her hospital bed.
But the exam was not to go off without a hitch--the registrar, she said, had forgotten to send along blue books. The proctor, who was present at UHS during both exams, had to scrounge around the hospital looking for plain paper.
Despite the obstacles that prevented Ho from taking her tests the first time around, she said she was glad to finally get the exams over with--and let her friends and family know that she was okay.
"It was a pretty stressful experience," she said. "I wouldn't recommend UHS as a place to take an exam."
