I am JONALEE DAS and I have passed my final FRCS from Amman in may
2011 by the grace of GOD and well wishes of my family.I have passed
all the parts in single attempt and would like to thank CHUA EYE page
,truly a great site for preparing me for the exam, Prof Muttusamy of
Muttusamy virtual university for his selfless dedication in personally
guiding the candidates,YAHOO group for the immense help and my senior
colleague Dr Shivaganam for all his teachings and guidance and last
but not the least my husband Dr Dushmanta Talukdar as it was his dream
more than mine and my 2 sons Aryaman and Akarshan from whom time was
borrowed in preparing for the exam.
All the examiners were very nice and kind and they lead us towards the
correct answers.
I recommend KANSKI, Paediatric Ophthalmology from AMERICAN ACADEMY,
OXFORD HANDBOOK OF OPHTHALMOLOGY And MEDICINE, WONG and any concise
book on surgery.
