Kaplan (usmle) For methods: 1. bedside 2. Do get the following book of differential diagnosis as well 1. The syllabus includes 1. cardiovascular system 2.kidney 3.acid base balance 4.endocrine 5. rheumatology 6.nervous system 7.respiratory system 8.poisoning 9.blood 10.

Disclaimer: The writer loves her alma matter and its people very much, that's why she wrote this blog first... Ten things I love about Kemcolians .. It's all written in good fun ! Ten things I *hate* about Kemcolians... by Sidrah Latif And ten things that I hate (as if my hating will create any difference to the perpetrators of these grievous crimes but let me shoot away. Something about speaking in the face of adversary, I am *sniff* so brave! *Bawls*) 1 .  1- Asking question in question-not-allowed time on a no-question zone:   Kemcolians will ask questions, and let me tell you the lamest of all which will make you want to bang your head against the coconut tree in your blue lagoon reverie you had conjured during lecture. And they will ask in a no-question zone i.e. lecture theatre, in a strictly-question-not-allowed-time i.e. the end of a lecture which was valium natured in putting you to effective sleep. They dare because they are stupid. Ever seen the le

13 th All Pakistan Bilingual Declamation – A Battlefield of 60 Warriors Come. Speak. Conquer. Let the Battle begin. by Taroob J. Latef I could get all academic and discuss the trappings of words that spun dramas, three-dimensional debates and debaters, a clockwork organization and not to mention a most suitably adorned hall, but I am pretty much as far as you can get from being a technical person and it’s much more vibrant to discuss this show in a layman’s terms: it held an era in itself! I doubt anybody wouldn’t have had a heads up when they first stepped in the Library Hall. The sign and symbol that it has always been for KEMU, was even more so today. Everything was grand, be it the magnificent banner hung down amid two streamers bearing our crest (let, how many times it was suspended before it finally assumed position or how many lemonades were drained down afterwards, be another story altogether) or be it the emblems of KEDS and KEM

SPIRIT OF VOLUNTEERISM... A session with Dr. Izhar Hashmi. Organized by: KEMCOLIANS AKHUWAT CLUB.   25th April.... 11'o clock... I ,enthusiastic to see Dr. Izhar Hashmi(many of you must be knowing him,,especially position holders who have visited YDC and HADP...He is a great kemcolian of 1989), saw secretly THE DOOR OF D.H... :p (OOOO..unguarded!!! You know now a days strictness there) I stepped out of D.H. and rushed to anatomy lecture theatre...(a sitting of the cabinet of KAC with Dr. Izhar was planned there)...... But i was disappointed to see anatomy lecture going on there (ugh :( ). I went back and saw shafaq tabassum baji and maimoona mohsin baji (who let me realize that the time is 12'o clock)... 11-12'o clock... I , at least slipped out of D.H. ten times (although i knew sir Izhar will come after 12..) Every time, i came out, exchanged smiles with the organizers (shafaq baji and maimoona baji) and went back... 12.05.. Ah...attendance of D.H. finalyyyyy...
