LNMS: Signology

-

The most important property of a medical student is the logbook...believe it or not, that small and petite book is a very important aspect of being in medical school.
Right from the orientation, it has been hammered into our heads that we need 75% attendance to qualify to sit for exams, and the tricky part is the resit exam, in the past, students who didn't make attendance can still sit for the resit exam which is always six weeks after the results are out, but recent developments claim that students who didn't make attendance and therefore did not sit for the main exam are not eligible to sit for resit exam, coz they never wrote the main exam in the first place, to cut this long story short, any student who does not make attendance, as an automatic one year repeat...and trust me that is dreadful.
This has become a standing statuette, that even consultants know that they should not deprive us of signatures, coz immediately the session is coming to an end, med students are already reaching into their bags for log book for signature...it as important as the medical degree itself, and that is why we "hustle" hard for signatures.

It was late afternoon, the harsh scorch from the sun was fading, the cool evening breeze had begun its daily night shift. A small group of little humans; consisting of five or six children with age ranging from 7 to 9; emerge running from a three-storey building. They ran towards the tarred road adjacent to their building stopping a few metres away from the road, at the designated structure which was a shed made of aluminium roofing sheets and four wooden poles. This endeavour has been a daily ritual for these set of children, it had become more than what it was set out to be, right now, with the amount of attention, dedication and tenacity poured into it, it was much more than a game. Occasionally, some adults would entertain themselves by joining the group and taking the acting role of both spectators and judges, but today there were no spectators and or judges. They lined themselves side by side as each child prepared to verbally take possession of passing cars that he or she d
