I heard from a former registrar to Sinna  this story. I would like you to confirm it as you were in his unit.
Apparently Prof had a remarkable ability to identify all the nurses who had sexual relationships the night before.  My friend had to verify from them at lunchtime whether Prof was correct and he says Prof was correct about 90% Did he ask you to check on this too?  Daya J



Hello Daya,
I heard a story from a senior that Sinna related about an incident, where Sinna was requested to see a newly-married couple the day after their wedding. He had examined the female and asked her, whether she had intercourse six times the previous night. The blushing bride had said yes and asked Sinna how  he knew. Sinna had pulled out and counted six separate small cotton swabs inside the vagina from the patient, during the vaginal examination. He had made a guess based on this. He never told the bride how he found out the fact.
