Ragging Vs. Shawarma :D Most of you wouldn’t believe the story I am about to tell you, and believe me neither do I. But, nonetheless, it is true. So, I got admission in KEMU and was very pleased (naturally) but at the same time the thoughts of being the freshman there and being fooled and embarrassed haunted me.

The test is conducted on your last day in unit 2.Its conducted by PGs.Passing percentage is 60%.One can appear again with next batch in case you flunk it on first attempt.There are three stations.

First station has vivafrom any topic taught to your batch in unit 2.Ma'am goes into details of one topic like if she asks about Twin Pregnancy,she starts from its definition to its types,risk factors, complications etc You can't get away with superficial study on this station :(

Second Station is of Instrument:
You're asked to identify and tell the use of some instrument.
Some similar-looking instruments:

The Legend that still lives in DH

By Farkhanda Qaiser
4th Year

At the end of last year, when I asked my class fellows, how would they describe 3rd year? Most of the people answered, Pharma, pharma and pharma…! Well I don’t mean to scare you but pharmacology really is one of the scariest subjects that I’ve encountered so far. And it did take up most of our time too (8 class tests, one test every month…!) However, it’s very interesting once you get the hang of it.

Final Year

I’ve always been a very active child. I loved the games involving physical activity and preferred them over Luddo,Cards etc. Watching Olympics and Asian games on TV left me with a longing to take part in these games myself (stupid childhood dreams). Unfortunately, there wasn't any organized weekly/monthly or even yearly sports activity at my school and all I was left with to quench my thirst was to play 'Pakran-Pakrai', 'Go-Go', 'Baraf-Pani' and 'Pithhu-Garam' with my friends and brothers. Life was quite the same at college where the girls belonging to sports department were the only ones allowed to take part in different games and we, the boring science-girls could only watch and envy. I had almost accepted my life like that and decided that the first thing I’d demand upon entering the Heavens would be a race track with a bunch of people to compete with. :p

A review of the fun-filled days from the CR of 2017 by Ali Naveed Malghani (our parlty CR ;P )

WOW ! What a week, probably the best days at KE so far.. Man that was fun

Show started when our flight took off and landed directly to the theme day and horribly we were all dressed as gangsters on GOTH theme !! Terrible :P sorry for that!
We knew nothing really how this theme day was to go about but all in all things went well.

Day 2 was the funfair. Now that was something for people absent to be envious of. Had great fun. KEMUHOLICS, KEMU LOUNGE, THE IRRITANTS and LALEY DI HATTI made first years the best stall holders in KEMU.
Day 3 was colour day. The FALSAY rocked a big time. Cute faces in purple rocked the day.
Day 4 was the variety show day. Our skit again rocked the day. And we got Second position too :)
Then the prize distribution ceremony was hell of a fun too :D

MEMORABLE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SPORTS WEEK:

DAY 1


Dressed in gangsters on a GOTH theme and still screaming 1st year zinda baad like we…

This blog has been written for three people, so if only these three of them read and like it, I would be more than happy :)

I live in my own world. I have a built an imaginary world around me, where I add the things I love and remove the things I hate. I imagine. I dream with open eyes and that’s the li’l secret that makes me different from others.

Well, anything can be important from examiner’s point of view but the topics repeated and important most of the time are as follows:Gross Anatomy:Bones:Never compromise in this part as almost every region has some bone. Some bones are done separately while hand,foot,pelvis are done as a whole.Their anatomical position, side determination,features and attachments,clinicals are important in vivas as well as spotting(osteology and X-rays). A bone or any viscera is to be held according to your anatomical position, not according to examiner’s anatomical position. Ossification of some exceptional bones i.e. clavicle (first bone to ossify and ossify in membrane), femur (secondary centre for lower end appear at end of 9th month of IU life), humerus etc. is important. Law of ossification is very important. Sesamoid bones are also important.
