When I entered medical school, I was determined to become a specialist.
I thought running a maternity home would give me independence, and so obstetrics and gynaecology (O&G) was one of the specialities I thought I would pursue upon graduation.
In fact, I remember a senior of mine, who, even before entering medical school, had decided that he wanted to be a neurosurgeon.
And indeed, he is now a successful neurosurgeon in private practice.
The medical school curriculum and learning was tough, and many of us were just struggling to pass exams while trying to enjoy university life with whatever minimal time we had left.
