ABOUT
THE BOOK

This is a hilarious and light-hearted novel relating the mis-adventures of a medical intern in the prestigious St. Ivanhoe hospital. The book follows the exploits of Dr. Manju Mendis, a Sri Lankan living in Australia who having come through medical school with first class honours is starting off his year as a medical intern in the much vaunted St. Ivanhoe Hospital. But right from the word go, author Dr. Sanjaya Senanayake leaves the reader in no doubt that this is no mere diary of hospital life. Manju’s escapades, all told with great candour right from the opening chapter are alternately salacious and mind-boggling. Dr. Mendis straddles cultural norms & takes a pragmatic approach to life when it threatens his conservative views.
