1/2 Med done Bye UHKDU 6A

Feel sad to leave UHKDU after a month of clinicals there in ward 6A. During the first few days I felt like a stranger there, not knowing where what is, navigating was hard but over time I got used to the ward. Getting ready for an ABG took a few seconds, knew where which beds

Obgyn 2 (part 1/2)

Back at Kalutara after almost two years and the place still seems familiar with not so much changes except for the Covid wards and covid related changes. Walking past Paediatric ward brings back really good memories of my one month there and all the casualty nights and night classes we had during brief powercuts. Another
