Abstract
This chapter describes my period as a medical student in the University of Adelaide. Unfortunately the course was not well taught because these were the days before academic departments of medicine and surgery. This changed shortly after I graduated. I wanted to take part in a research project but the opportunity was not available. However I took full advantage of all the other opportunities. For example I had a wonderful group of friends who were very talented and musical, and with whom I have kept in touch. I captained the field hockey team and we played in several competitions in other states. After graduation I spent a year doing a medical residency, but shortly after that I left for London.
