Hi Philip,
Thank you for your mail. Although I
had not kept in touch, I knew you had great potential behind your rather
'leftist' views. My impressions of your potential have been justified!
Well I came over to England to do
my Fellowship. Rajasuriya gave me a WHO schol which I refused. In 1983 I
thought I made a wise decision to stay back.
Got a little bored with
anaesthetics, so took up ITU, Pain Relief, etc. 1998 the year my oldest daughter
married saw me as one of the three finalists in the Hospital Doctor of the
year, UK in a glittering
ceremoney at the Grovesner in London.
I retired end last year, and am
feeling my way to keep me busy. I am doing a City & Guilds Level II
computer course now. May do languages later. We have 2 grand daughters about a
mile from us, and they keep us busy.
My second daughter did her MRCP and
Diploma in Topical Medicine and Hygeine (Liverpool), and then volunteered
herself to MSF in Darfur for six months. She had
to cross the border between government (rebel!) forces and freedom fightiers
during her duties. On one occasion she and her whole team had to be evacuated
as an emergency when fighting broke out. Thankfully she is back in England at Bristol.
Third girl is a fourth year medic at Bristol.
We'll keep in touch.
Victor
