“I have to say I relished my time at medical school. The Southampton course suited me perfectly. While I probably should have spent more time studying and less on the medics revue and other social activities (I learnt after graduation from the then Dean that we had a reputation as a very active year socially), I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”
