Reading this made my day! I had mixed feelings about going kind of viral on social media the day after my convocation, and the invasion of privacy that it led to - but if I can help inspire young girls to put their dreams above everything else, then it's all worth it!

Alhamdullilah. Grateful to my parents (owe them everything tbh), my husband, my family, my teachers and my friends for their support. Still kind of in disbelief and hoping that this is just the beginning!
SYNCH Pakistan congratulates Noor Al Sabah - a medical student of King Edward Medical University, Lahore who has been awarded with 23 gold medals for achieving first place in various subjects at the university's 11th convocation.
Keep shining!

A fun annual tradition post-Match Day is to update our map of which institutions trained our incoming interns. In our five-year rolling refresh, this year we added 11 schools and removed 7. See which ones at the link.
I feel that success isn't necessarily just achieving stuff for the sake of it. It's also knowing how to prioritize your personal happiness. Any achievements/laurels/pretige that you get at the cost of personal happiness and satisfaction might not be worth it.
Good read 👇🏻
Every ARVO, I’m reminded that science advances through relationships as much as experiments.

Our meta-analysis evaluating the efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) in SAH is now online. We concluded that TXA use does not decrease mortality or poor clinical outcome after SAH.

@Axonaldoctor
Hi, no there aren't. And I didn't top in all the subjects (just most), that's a misinformation on some social media sites. some medals are for the positions in the annual professional exams, then a best graduate medal/most distinguished graduate medal.
