Mediquiz: Rhapsody–Preliminary Round
This was the FIRST ever Mediquiz I conducted and fittingly, it was conducted with none other than Parijat Sen, the master quizzer himself. Along with Parijat (who will soon be leaving for an Internal Medicine residency in the US of A) and Shibojit Talukdar (who is doing his Surgery residency at the prestigious Post Graduate […]
MediQuiz: Inquizzitive–Mixed Bag
This is the last and final round from the MediQuiz that me and Tamoghna hosted at KPC Medical College on the occasion of Researching – The Foundation Workshop. This was meant to be like a closing round for the quiz, and most of the questions were culled from an earlier quiz conducted at Medical College […]
MediQuiz: Inquizzitive–Occam’s Razor
Occam’s Razor is the law of parsimony or, in Latin, Lex Parsimoniae, which dictates that when faced with competing hypotheses, that are equal in all other respects, the better bet is to go with the one that makes the fewest new assumptions. In simple words, the simple hypothesis is the one to go with. In […]
MediQuiz: Inquizzitive–“Foreign” Sick
Since a large segment of the participants of the workshop were from the first and second professional MBBS years, we decided to pitch in with a healthy dose of Forensic questions. Here are the questions for the round which we dedicated to the one and only TKB! Once again, credits (or criticism!) for making these […]
MediQuiz: Inquizzitive–To p or not to p!
This round was criticized to be a little too difficult for the average participant in the program, but we figured that since this was a workshop on research methodology, the round dedicated to this topic should be a little tough. Once again, Tamoghna set the questions and I think this was a brilliant round. As […]
Mediquiz: Inquizzitive–Retrospectoscope
This round was entirely made up by Tamoghna, and he totally deserves the kudos for this. It was a little disheartening to see the iron lung/polio connection go unidentified, even after the tell tale pic, and the ample clues we provided. But anyways these questions are always a little tricky and just in case you […]
MediQuiz: Inquizzitive–Prelims
Inquizzitive was the MQ held in course of Researching – A Foundation Workshop for Medical Research, organized at KPC Medical College, under the aegis of INFORMER.
Inquizitive: The Medical Quiz
Medical Quizzing is a tool for medical education that employs multiple skill sets, both creative and analytical, to crack the code of questions. First popularized by Dr. Krishnendu Mukherjee, a prominent surgeon of Kolkata, a proud alumnus of my alma mater and of course, a teacher par excellence, this remains one of the most grueling […]
MediQuiz 2011: An Overview
This was the first and last time me and my mate Parijat got to organize the MediQuiz which has been given a cult status by none other than Dr. Krishnendu Mukherjee, surgeon, and one of my mentors. This time we had planned it out such that there would be a smattering of different elements to […]
MediQuiz #3: R.I.P.
Well, this MediQuiz question is dedicated in the memory of an individual who has revolutionized the world of medical research, more details of which I shall give in the next post. The clue for this one is that it is not a disease or a clinical entity but rather a tool which is used day […]
Answer: MediQuiz #2: The Rhythm of Life
Yeah, once again, almost everyone got it right. There are few songs that tend to stick in your head as much as stayin’ alive does, and indeed, it is just the right beat to make your CPR go along with. Some people are also of the opinion that Another one bites the dust by Queen […]

MediQuiz #2: Just Beat It!
I will post the answer to MediQuiz #1 tonight (or tomorrow morning) but several people have already got it bang on. I am waiting for a couple of more people, who shall not be free till later tonight, to have a go at it before I post the answers. And in the meanwhile, to keep […]
MediQuiz #1: Image Challenge
So, I have been reading several of my blogging mates writing on their blogs medical questions and queries and I was wondering if I could do something similar on my blog as well. I was worried that it might not be in keeping with the tone of my blog, but my blogging mentor, Nipon, assured […]
