thank you, nimish.

meti, you are right. We do our best and God takes care of the rest.
I wish you all the best.
...by the way the antibiotics I mentioned before are for perforated ulcer, not for pre op colon cancer. For pre op colon cancer are Metronidazole and Cefotaxime.
thanks again
I haven't read neeraj notes, but someone mentioned before that they're worth reading b4 the exam.
...all the best.
