Yes, mention the time in OB/GYN - most PD's know that people have to do compulsory residencies in their country.

Brother? Renal failure, scarring in the tube between the liver and the small bowel causing bile not to flow, now a diagnosis of CMV, treated with gancyclovir.

Not good. But at this point all I want is for him to be in no pain.....

p.s. Just mention that you performed two years - not that you left early in your CV and personal statement. That can be explained if you are asked.....
