My memories as an immigrant professional woman in Ottawa, Canada 47 years ago. A new life after having survived the liberal war of a new country Bangladesh on December 16, 1971.
From street survivor to care provider - I literally broke my neck to get through college ... Dreams came true!
Background
Information
After an eventful four year recovery from critical injury, I practiced occupational therapy for twenty years and participated in adapted sports, including water and snow skiing. Influenced by the unique perspective inherited from being a patient - health care professional, my writing allows me the chance to effect the healthcare system - one reader at a time. When the keyboard is tapped, humor must be injected into all circumstances.
