Future Doctors™ S3E4 SUMMARY

By Benedict Chong.

In our previous episode of Future Doctors, after taking a long break from Kursk Games, we were fortunate and glad to have 2 wonderful speakers, Mr. Sakthiswaran Rajasekar and Mr. Arveen Arasu. Both of them presented their individual topics under the common theme, Kidney Pathology.

The session began with Mr.Alan Na presenting to us with a short video on Anatomy & Physiology of the Kidney. It was indeed a good start to refresh our memories on the basics. Soon after that, Mr. Sakthis spoke on ‘What to do in case of Urinary Tract Infections?’. UTI according to him, is more common in females than males due to the difference in length of the urethra and the distance of the urethra from the rectum in both counterparts. He emphasized mainly on the treatment and prophylaxis of the disease.

Next in line, we had Mr. Arveen Arasu who gave his speech on Diagnostics and Management of Glomerulonephritis. Not even a slight unfortunate technical error prevented him from giving his short and sweet presentation, much to the amusement of the crowd. Overall, the session was carried out smoothly with Q&A sessions afterwards and refreshments were provided.



Stay tuned and do join us in our next Future Doctors session on WHEN HEART ATTACK STRIKES!
