Henry Fraser's entertaining autobiography starts with tales of a
unique childhood growing up at the local governance centre of a
rural parish in Barbados, where most parishioners visited the
offices of his parents at the family home. This rich community
involvement had a profound influence on his life of service. Sir
Henry describes why he chose to study medicine at the University of
the West Indies at Mona, Jamaica, and so became a passionate West
Indian. After specialization and PhD studies in London, he returned
to Barbados and helped to build better health care there. He
promoted rational therapeutics regionally and globally, working
with PAHO and WHO, and his research centre and wide-ranging
research have greatly benefited the Caribbean. His passion for
teaching, patient care, mentoring and management shows throughout
the book. Sir Henry has been described as the Renaissance man of
Barbados: in addition to his remarkable medical career, he has been
public orator for Barbados and for the University of the West
Indies, Cave Hill, and an independent senator in the Barbados
Senate (where he discovered the reasons for the syndrome he
labelled Government's Implementation Deficit Disorder or GIDD). His
other lifelong passions have been art, architectural history and
heritage preservation, and writing. His autobiography makes
fascinating reading: he is a natural story teller and, as he often
says, "History is his story." The book is replete with captivating
anecdotes and is illustrated with some of his paintings.
