• Elderly lady with gallstones with choledocholithiasis (booked)
• One patient with non-specific abdominal pain
• 14M with skin sinus over right lower rib, suspicious for osteomyelitis (booked)
• elderly man with fungating facial ulcer present for 11 years (booked)
• Paediatric patient with chronically obstructed kidney presenting as a mass (booked)
• Three (different) young men with testicular swellings
• One umbilical granuloma (booked)
