Brainwashed

About the Book

This might be one of the best fiction books about a father’s ability to brainwash his son into a successful life. What seems like a tale about believing in yourself when starting life in a small village in a third-world country quickly turns into a humorous and inspirational journey about overcoming adversity and dealing with first-world problems. Join author Ramdyal Bhola as he tells a fictional story based on his life. It’s not one of those rags-to-riches stories. Still, you’ll enjoy a worldwide journey as he leaves his village in Guyana, South America, and heads from London to Australia, where he became a successful medical practitioner. You’ll even get a little insight into the Aboriginal culture and see how being brainwashed at just the right time can lead to believing in yourself, overcoming adversity, and helping others as a medical practitioner.

About the Author

Author Dr. Ramdyal Bhola is known by many as a dedicated, friendly, and caring family doctor. After much encouragement from his wife, daughter, and friends, he penned Brainwashed. He is happily retired and loves that the stories he’s lived out will pass on for generations to come. Born in Guyana, South America, he attended primary and secondary schools before going to England for college and university education. In 1971 he graduated from the University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Medicine and a Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS). Later he acquired postgraduate qualifications in obstetrics and gynecology (Dobst. RCOG), general practice (MRCGP), and rural and remote medicine (FACRRM). Dr. Bhola practiced medicine for thirty-four years in rural Australia and ten years in Adelaide, Australia. He was active in medical politics locally and provided medical education for medical students, trainees, and overseas-trained doctors. Practice management was his passion. This passion, combined with his commitment to patient care and community, culminated in a high-quality practice at Port Augusta Medical Centre. The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners recognized Dr. Bhola’s passion and commitment by using his practice to help set the Standards for Accreditation of General Practices.
