Sheer RamjohnBorn and raised to age seventeen, in a relatively unknown country Guyana, had its challenges. The adventures of growing up in a tropical environment, amazing as it was, still lacked an element of yearning to know about the outside world. Formally Briish and English speaking, meant that I was afforded an English education, under the auspices of London University, United Kingdom. This boded well for me, and others, who sought higher education in the motherland, England. And so it was, after my General Certificate of Education, then becoming a pupil teacher, I emigrated to the United Kingdom to pursue higher learning, although not sure what. After a few casual jobs, then giving up a chance in the Royal Air Force, fate dictated I would finally settle to work and study at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in the field of Electron Microscopy and Histopathology. My journey into the philosophical, deeper intricate part of human life began. Learning about the human body and disease processes catapulted me into an amazing adventure, one which continues today. Armed with my educational attainments, I worked and taught in Guyana in Histopathology. It was no fun doing autopsies on rape cases, exhumations, accidents, disease processes; sometimes on friends, without having to think deeply. My onward journey took me to Canada, where I worked at the University Health Network for 30 years in Electron Microscopy in Pathology.
Living and working in three continents, provided me life's broad view, instilling inspiration to write this book.
