Coming Late to America
Dr Oliver Akamnonu
"A middle-aged medical doctor lives in a relatively promising third world country. He had attained a reasonably comfortable position in the sociopolitical setup of his country. He had led his state?s professional body and had served at the profession?s highest national levels. He had been awarded the profession?s highest honors.
He falls out of favor with the political authorities after his refusal to sell out and call off a mandated strike action declared by the professional body, which he led. Insecurity to his person, as manifested by armed attacks, compels him to immigrate to the United States of America.
He is required by the regulations to literally start his professional career from the basics.
Scaling through the basics becomes a tall order, and he finds relief and fulfillment in reversing course. He deliberately takes on a job at the lowest rungs of the care ladder, ministering to and interacting with Alzheimer?s residents and people with memory loss.
His experience and impressions about the future, about the lives of, and care for the aged and the most dependent of American society, and generally about daily living are portrayed for the benefit of the general society and those who may later consider coming late to America.
