General Hospital, Ratnapura - House Officers 1968

Sent by Indra Anandasabapathy. Try to identify those in the group. I am making the first guess (see comments).

  5. This is the list that Indra has sent. He himself was at Ratnapura. I failed to identify Chitta and Desmond. I also missed Roshnara and Swyrie. Rani Karalapillai (Peradeniya) lived next door at Manning Town from 1949 to 1956. I lost contact with her thereafter, but heard that she had entered med school the same year as myself.
    Who is HUNTER?

  7. Other colleagues are kindly requested to send me scanned copies of old group photographs taken at the hospitals where they did the Internaship. We have had Colombo South, Kurunegala and Ratnapura so far. This is a nice way to exercise your brain!

  8. Good question. Where is Swyrie? Indra himself will have the answer. It may be that Swyrie (and WDH's wife Winitha and probably Rani Karalapillai) were unable to be present for the group photograph. I am still assuming that seated at extreme right is Dolawatte.
