They say all the good things come to an end, i can’t be sure about the ‘good’ part but well it’s got to end, our 1st year at KE as well as the chronicles! It wasn't anything less than a roller coaster ride! Though the last few months were particularly bumpy...

A Freshman’s Jolt; King Edward Chapter by Amna Khalil (1st Year)


 King Edward was like a dream, dreamt with the full acknowledgement of it never being fulfilled ever. A few weeks into the declaration of the result, I would find myself squashing my tongue between my teeth again and again or pinching myself here and there. Watching how the planets aligned and led me to the one thing I truly desired in life was indeed amazing. Ecstatic, I watched all the KEMU videos on Youtube beforehand and nearly memorized the popular kemtips off the blogspot. In short, I was already in love with King Edward before even seeing it with my own eyes.

8 Things you need to know about West Medical Ward


by Sadaf Hafeez


Ward test won't be delayed at any rate.
The ward's head is Ma'am Balqees. She'll throw back every excuse for post-ponement as easily as Nadal hits the ping pong. So be ready for test on time.


The Test course won't be reduced.
Whilst batches from other medicine wards may brag of acing the ward tests with course-outline including only two systems namely G.I.T and Respiratory system , west medicine shall teach and examine you in all four systems namely G.I.T , Respiratory System , CNS and yes ,even CVS ! Again Ma'am Balqees won't take anything less.


3rd year is all about history taking ! Not so in west medicine.
Admin of west medical wards believes history taking is a mere joke without
