Biography :
Charles Gomersall is Trained in Medicine and Anaesthesia in London and Intensive Care in Hong Kong. Career choices seem to have consisted of a series of accidents: chose medicine because I couldn’t think of anything better to do. Developed an interest in Intensive Care after becoming unemployed and doing a locum in Intensive Care. Became interested in teaching after returning to London as a consultant and deciding that teaching was preferable to doing everything myself and developed an enforced interest in respiratory epidemics as a result of SARS arriving in Hong Kong. Only claim to fame is conning some friends (ex-friends?) into writing BASIC. Still a bit surprised that anyone wants to hear what I have to say and constantly amazed by the success of BASIC (I wish I could say it was all planned).
