*  as explained, the lecture this week was longer due to the missed classes last week as a result of bad weather

ALL LECTURES WILL RESUME TO NORMAL AS OF THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK

PATHOLOGY GROUPS T1 & T4

Group T1 who missed the class today & for those in T4 who did not attend today, please come to the Tuesday morning (9.30 AM) lecture in 1,203

there will be rearrangements in this week's teaching schedule to compensate for last week's missed lectures, and to ensure a smooth schedule this week for the hospital visits.  All students must attend either Sunday or Tuesday, and I have double checked to make sure that this timing will suit all schedules.

Thank you'

Please remember to keep a medical dictionary with you, so that you may define terms that you are unfamiliar with.
