“I enjoy my life. I enjoy working with the people I come into contact with. I enjoy the farmlands. I can’t say there is a thing I can complain about.”By Neil MarksOn weekdays, he runs his clinic in downtown Georgetown, but on weekends you can find 82-year-old Dr Cecil Harricharan commanding the attention of wild cattle aback of Mahaicony with a signature call that makes him the envy of neighbours.You’d be excused if you couldn’t differentiate which is Dr Harricharan’s greatest love – the medical profession or being on the rice fields and cattle farms. He finds it hard set apart himself.Dr Cecil HarricharanHis wife of 50 years, Chandra, surmises that it is his love for the backlands that has kept his life meaningful and rewarding – and she of course.Becoming a doctor was certainly not what his parents envisioned for him. They had more in mind than him working the sprawling farmlands that he loved, but an uncle thought he could make more of his life…and did he!To date, Dr Harricharan has chalked up 50 years in the medical field, and counting. When one considers the fact that he had easy access to “greener pastures,” being licensed to practice in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Caribbean, it’s easy to see how he fits unquestionably in the category of those who have dedicated their life to the service of their country, and doing so largely unnoticed.A man who has served his country unswervingly, who dared to go where other doctors refused to, Mahaicony’s ‘Noble Son’ Dr Cecil Harricharan is indeed a ‘Special Person’.Growing upDr Cecil Harricharan was born Cecil Edgar on March 6, 1929, at Little Abary, Mahaicony, in the home his mother, Joaquin Liliah, used to live before she married his father, the elder Harricharan.His parents were living at Novar, Mahaicony, where the Harricharans reared cattle and planted rice, but as was the custom, his mother returned to her parents’ home to give birth.Cecil was born the first of six children, and grew up on the thriving farmlands at Novar. He quite enjoyed the farms, milking cows and then dropping off container upon container at the train station in Mahaicony. The milk would then be taken to Georgetown for sale.He also worked the rice fields at a time when bulls were used to plough the lands.“It was hard work, but I had a good time,” he reflects.As a young lad, he attended the Catherine Ville and Novar Presbyterian Primary Schools. After securing impressive scores at the School Leavers Examinations, his father’s brother, Cecil Bishoodyal, insisted that he move to Georgetown to further his education.It was a move that you could say was a culture shock for the raw country boy, settling into the chaotic life of the city.He would peddle his bicycle from his uncle’s place in Kitty to the Modern Educational Institute, run by the Lutheran Church, at the junction of Camp Street and North Road, where today stands a Lutheran Church.It was a literal fight to stay in school, when school bullies tried to force the country boy into submission.“You had to fight or you would be left with nothing,” he recounts.Cecil passed the Junior and Senior Cambridge Exams with flying colours. And then came decision time. What would he do with the rest of his life?Ideally, he had a place waiting for him on the farmlands at Mahaicony. But his uncle had other plans in mind.The uncle suggested that he should study medicine abroad. It was not an easy decision for his parents to make, but they agreed.At age 19, the young Harricharan set out for Halifax, Nova Scotia, in Canada, to pursue studies in medicine at the prestigious Dalhousie University.Of course, moving to the North had its challenges, but he dedicated himself to his studies and in 1953, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. While studying,Wholesale Jerseys, he thought about where he wanted to study medicine proper,http://www.soccerpro.us.com/Croatia/, and sent out applications for scholarships that were being offered.With the family: From left Tanuja, Priya, wife Chandra, and Kalpana.The government of India offered him a scholarship to pursue his doctorate at one of their universities, but his parents were hesitant about sending him all the way to India, even though they would not have to pay for his studies.His parents decided that he should stay at Dalhousie. And this he did. In five years, including a one-year internship at hospitals in and around Halifax, he graduated with an M.D., C.M degree (Doctor of Medicine and Master of Surgery).He was offered fellowship opportunities to study specialist medicine, but he decided to return home.In the nine years that he studied to become a doctor in Canada, there was hardly any communication with his family back in Guyana. There was the occasional letter, but returning home for visits was out of the question. It was just too expensive.You could imagine the awkward encounter at the airport
