I invite everybody intrested in serious discussions and cross questioning. I intend to write CK in the first week of september and have finished first reading of KAPLAN + various Q-banks, now starting to regroup myself with exam perspective....writing all that i still can not understand and recalling important clinical perls.
Intend to do system wise - med.-paed.-surgery-pearls-questions

Starting from medicine- GI, join me on my way towards building a solid foundation....we all can do it !

Cheers
