Congratulations to my friend Dr Prem Alva!

I would like to heartily congratulate my dear friend Dr Prem Alva (Consultant pediatric cardiologist) for his amazing work saving the life of a one day old baby girl with congenital pulmonary stenosis. Our common friends and I are extremely proud of him, and look forward to see him work wonders saving children like he does on a daily basis.

He made national news! Check out the article here.

We will be asking Dr Alva to write a brief article on congenital pulmonary stenosis for all our readers. Keep an eye out for it!!!

Well done Alva!

We are on twitter!

Support a charity - make a difference!

Dear all

Charity has always been close to my heart, and today I have added a SocialVibe widget on the right hand side of this blog. You do not have to donate any money or even take out your wallet. All you need to do is click on the widget and the window that opens may ask you to rate a movie trailer or something along those lines. All it takes it a couple of minutes of your time, and it is for a good cause. The money is donated by big corporations like Apple or Colgate etc.

This month, I am supporting 'Children mending hearts'. Check them out on www.childrenmendinghearts.org. The widget states otherwise, but whatever it says, it still is for a noble and worthy cause.

I hope you all click on the widget and support the charities. If it asks you to return at a later date, please do so.

Thank you all for your time.

Warm wishes

Medical Mnemonics

Oh, how we all loved mnemonics during medical school. Remember the carpal bones - 'She Looks Too Pretty, Try To Catch Her'?? Well, for the MRCP basic sciences section, what better way to remember the facts than with a book on mnemonics! Given that you are a seasoned medical student (or a junior doctor, as most of us call it!), get yourself a book with good mnemonics to remember all those bones, tissues, tendons, physiological pathways, biochemical pathways etc. We found one on Amazon that seems to be going strong. A quick preview and it looks good, packed with illustrations and interesting anecdotes. Here is the link for you:

For those of you who have a kindle, or have the software on your computer, you can download the book straight away -

The book combines mnemonics with humour, so it most certainly is a good read. Remember, a lot of questions in the MRCP part 1 exam cover topics from years ago. In addition to the books we have recommended in other posts, this appears to be a good accompaniment. Reviews by other users are great as well.

Enjoy it!
