 More than what I imagined it would be


 Final case in medical school: Can u spot the lesion?

No significant past medical or social history
Presented with a one week history of burning tingling dull pain over the left shoulder
Noticed a rash three days ago
Rash is mildly tender


More lesions on the back
Diagnosis?

 Final lecture by Dr Wong
Always interesting to hear his wisdom
Monash needs more doctors like him


 Prof Fullerton


 
Prof Khalid - the Monash blue eyed boy
In talking about the life of an academician, he reminded us not to neglect our responsibility to provide financially for our family. After serving spending over twenty years serving in a public university, he still had to sell land he inherited from his parents to fund his children's education overseas. In short, we need business acumen to survive.


 Some things never change 
haha


After our final lecture


 
 One final look..


 
 One final visit at night to drop off some books


 On the way back to KL 
Sitting on the passengers seat this time because of a bum ankle


 Situations can change in an instant
I thank God for some constants in life
