Patrick Keating was born in Dublin in 1953 and can remember nothing prior to that date. He attended school in Yorkshire and was the finest centre half and boy soprano that Whitby Road Junior ever produced, but had eventually to give up both activities due to sudden loss of ball control. His future in the medical profession seemed assured from the age of ten when his essay 'Things I want to do when I grow up' forced his teacher Miss Machin to take early retirement. He acquired his degree in Medicine in 1980 through the post while working as a pool attendant in Forth Worth, Texas, and he has pursued his career with the same dogged enthusiasm ever since. He is currently engaged in medical research into the marked correlation between pre-senile dementia and voting Conservative. See less
