I came to Australia from Fiji at the age of 17 years, and through the foresight and generosity of my older brother, went to medical school at the University of Sydney. I trained at the Royal North Shore Hospital and Repatriation Gen Hospital Concord, gaining the MRACP in 1967.
In 1969, I was fortunate enough to be awarded the first clinical Fellowship in Medicine (diabetes) awarded to an Australian graduate by the Joslin Clinic, at that time considered the world's leading institution for the study and treatment of diabetes. My wife and I spent two years in Boston and returned to Sydney in 1971. I practised as a Consultant Physician specialising in diabetes and cardiology until retirement in 1967.
