Towards the end, her abdomen was grossly distended and she developed yellow jaundice of the skin and heavily bile stained urine just one week before her…

Throughout our career we witness events that stay in the mind forever.

I recall a very thin lady from a foreign land, being admitted for eradication of a tape worm.

She was elderly and did not speak English so it was not possible to obtain an accurate history.
