Medicine is held to be the noblest profession. Like many other adolescents, I too, dreamt of becoming a doctor. The allure of ‘Dr.’ prefixing my name ensured that I slogged and got into one of the best medical schools of India, Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College, Mumbai. I was the Alice in Wonderland: fascinated, curious and anxious, unaware of the adventures and perils ahead. As we sat in the first lecture of anatomy, we were enthralled by the charm of Prof. Manu Kothari. Boys and girls were seated separately and I still recall his remarks, “Maalay-Femaalay-Maalay- Femaalay”.

Abstract


Medicine is held to be the noblest profession. Like many other adolescents, I too, dreamt of becoming a doctor. The allure of ‘Dr.’ prefixing my name ensured that I slogged and got into one of the best medical schools of India, Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College, Mumbai. I was the Alice in Wonderland: fascinated, curious and anxious, unaware of the adventures and perils ahead. As we sat in the first lecture of anatomy, we were enthralled by the charm of Prof. Manu Kothari. Boys and girls were seated separately and I still recall his remarks, “Maalay-Femaalay-Maalay- Femaalay”.
