Woman Suffers a Cardiac Arrest While Taking the Bar Exam — and Proctors Allegedly Didn't Stop to Provide Help
"The exam never stopped. Everyone just … kept going. Or at least tried to," one eyewitness recalledNEED TO KNOW A woman suffered a cardiac arrest while taking the bar exam at a Long Island college, and administrators of the test allegedly didn't stop to help her "The exam never stopped. Everyone just … kept going. Or at least tried to," one eyewitness recalled The test determines competency to practice lawA test taker suffered a cardiac arrest while taking the bar exam — and proctors administering the evaluation allegedly did not stop in order to provide an assist. The incident occurred on July 30, as the New York State Board of Law Examiners (NYSBOLE) was administering the New York State Bar Examination at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., a spokesperson for the college told PEOPLE. According to the representative, the individual — whom local outlet Newsday identified as a woman — "collapsed shortly before the scheduled lunch break and fell from their chair." "Hofstra Public Safety officers immediately provided life-saving emergency care, including CPR and defibrillation, until paramedics arrived and transported the individual to a local hospital," the spokesperson for the Long Island-based college continued. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The woman was not a Hofstra University graduate, according to the representative for the school. "Our thoughts are with them and their loved ones, and we wish them a full and speedy recovery. Further details about Bar Exam protocols should be directed to the NYSBOLE," the spokesperson added. In a statement to PEOPLE, Joseph Landau, the Dean of Fordham Law School, confirmed the woman is a graduate of their New York City-based school. "We were saddened to learn of what happened to one of our graduates during the New York Bar Exam this week and have been in touch with the family to monitor the graduate's health," Landau said. "Our thoughts are with the graduate and the family, and out of respect for their privacy, we do not have any further comment." In a Reddit post, one fellow test taker claimed that the woman was never attended to during the medical ordeal. "She collapsed onto the floor and was making gurgling sounds, clearly in serious distress. For what felt like a long time, no one reacted until a few people began calling for help and making a scene," the Redditor wrote. "The exam never stopped. Everyone just … kept going. Or at least tried to," the unnamed user continued. They added: "I understand that emergencies are unpredictable and that there might not be much flexibility built into bar exam procedures — but this felt wrong." Newsday reported that test takers returned to complete the exam after a lunch break, and no announcement was made about the ordeal. The outlet added that the woman was taken by ambulance to Nassau University Medical Center for care. Another person who was taking the test, which determines competency to practice law, told Newsday, "That's a real person who could be dying right in front of us, and we're still being expected to continue to finish our questions for this exam." "From a purely human standpoint, that's another human being in distress, and that's not something that you could just flip to the back of your mind immediately — at least for me," the individual continued. The Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) and Nassau University Medical Center did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment, nor did the NYSBOLE or the National Conference of Bar Examiners, which provides services to Bar applicants.

Law school grad has medical emergency and collapses during bar exam in New York
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A law school graduate collapsed while taking the bar exam in a New York City suburb this week, prompting an emergency response as other aspiring lawyers worked on their exams. But some Reddit users claiming they were among the test-takers Wednesday say they're upset the exam wasn't halted outright. Hofstra University spokesperson Terry Coniglio said Friday that the test-taker collapsed shortly before a scheduled lunch break at the Long Island campus. Hofstra Public Safety officers immediately provided life saving emergency care, including CPR and defibrillation, until paramedics arrived and transported them to a local hospital, she said. The New York State Board of Law Examiners, which administers the exam, said the medical emergency occurred 'only a few minutes' before the end of the exam's morning session and staff promptly contacted emergency responders. 'The exam concluded as our staff was obtaining medical aid for the candidate,' the Friday statement said. 'As soon as the exam ended the proctors collected the exams and the candidates were dismissed from the room so that EMTs could provide the needed medical care to the candidate.' The university and the state board wished the law candidate, who has not been named, a speedy recovery. The board said it is also continuing to review what happened, including which candidates may have been impacted, and 'will formulate an appropriate response in due course.'
