to attend it. You also got a loan from Ghana Commercial Bank to buy books. However, the challenges in medical school were almost the same as today. Not only was it difficult to get the necessary books to study, but the library was also ill equipped, so it was tough for some of us, but the rich kids had books being bought from the UK for them. All the same, I had a great time in medical school. It maturedme; some of our classmates were married, and some even had kids and I really learnt a lot from them. Besides, I was lucky to have some friends from the UK, who helped me by sending me some of the books. My last two years in medical school were great, in that, I discovered my influential aunt in Accra. My mother’s cousin, Mrs. Comfort Engmann, was the proprietress of North Ridge Lyceum, and former headmistress of Mfantsiman Secondary School. She took great care of me during this period, bringing me food, provisions and money on weekends. 17 The Birthday Journal
