I am sure batchmates will agree that we were very fortunate in having wonderful teachers, both in Medical School and in the Hospitals where we had our clinical training. I am very keen for all of you to contribute to this series which I am starting today, which I call "Lessons I Still Remember". I do hope that many of you will add to this list. I have a few more I can recall but shall keep them for another instalment.
