Classmates

A few days ago, Vivian was in Yokohama to attend an international conference. One night, during our MSN chat, she asked, "Do you know BY ? He graduated from CU."

What a question ! BY was my university classmate, and we were in the same group during the final year. There were ten of us and it was 17 or 18 years ago. At that time, we were just a group of explorative and fun-seeking medical students, too worried about the future to imagine where and what we end up to be.

Let me see.

1. BY went to Singapore soon after he finished with the intern and is now a prominent surgeon in a university hospital.
2. KW becomes an interventional radiologist and runs an excellent private practice.
3. PY doubles his weight; he is a neurosurgeon.
4. HW works in an emergency department somewhere; his son has an IQ over 160.
5. WT becomes an oncologist.
6. PF is also an oncologist too; he repeated 6 months of medicine - that's no big deal.
   
7. RN is recently promoted to be consultant psychiatrist.
8. HT is a gastroenterologist - I probably see her husband, another of my classmate, more often.
9. RT enjoys her practice as a private gynecologist.

Although the years may have been tough, it remained an enjoyable period of time.
