Memories
Memory 1
I recall the happy experience of modelling evening wear at an annual " Medical Smoker" event, hosted by the faculty social event on the patio of the Registrar's Flats, across from the Orthopaedic Ward of the UWI Hospital, Mona. Enjoined on the "catwalk"
were classmate, Pamela Steele, and our male escort- the handsome and dashing Olympian Timmy Barrett.
Memory 2
My interesting Social and Preventive Medicine Clerkship off campus posting with Sandra Rayson in Maypen. The very early AM experience of going out with the pilot to the ships which sailed in during at early AM hours to make Port Health Health clearance pre- docking, was a great learning experience. The tasty home-made solid breakfasts, prepared by our hostess, were top rated.
Memory 3
A career memory of being an escort for an hour during a visit by His Royal Highness Prince Harry, on a private visit to the Paediatric Ward at the QEH in 2010.
