Farewell batch of 2015 !



Anna and I got to know some friends from 2015 batch of medical students and three of them who joined our foster family became rather special, Samuel, Neville and Christina (not in the picture)

These three got involved with us in different ways. Samuel spent a month as a visitor-observer during his holidays in the department of Developmental Paediatrics and Child neurology. He along with Neville organised a staff-student badminton match for the department. Christiana took forward a clinical study on sleep monitoring in developmentally challenged children and educated parents on step hygiene. They were frequent visitors to meet Anna and myself for conversations. 

They finished their internship last week and are about to set out in their professional journey in higher education. 

Anna and I remember them as those who carried a sense of responsibility and accountability in whatever they did. They along with few others in their class stood out as those who embraced the vocation of medicine by expressing their diligence and sense of altruism. We remember them going out of their way to help people stranded during a flood which made many needing shelter and care for a week or more. They were motivators and role models. Sa teh pmuel excelled academically and played foot ball and basket ball in the college team. Neville became the student's union leader and Christiana edited the college magazine for a year. Hoe fulfilled was to know them and watch them grow and become adults ready to go on in life as those who are developing into leaders and role models!

Well doen trends! You shall remain in our thoughts. Anna and wish all three of you our good wishes for fulfilling years in the practice of medicine! We hope that our paths would cross again!

We would have had a farewell get-together but for the second surge of COVID19, which imposes restrictions on us to meet!

We send you the following flowers from MOSC campus, as a token of our kind thoughts and  warm regards for you!
