Smith, R.Thoughts for new medical students at a new medical schoolBMJ  2003;327:1430-1433 (20 December). The article is available free online. This month's selection was brought to my attention by a good friend - Dr. I. K. Indrajit, who is with the Army Hospital in New Delhi. Thank you, Dr. Indrajit! I hope all our young medical students will appreciate this one. In fact, we hope all Deans and faculty of medical colleges will make a special effort to share this with their students.
