From Grenada to Cardiology with Dr. Diego Humphrey

Nutmeg Nation with Carlene Humphrey

When determination meets opportunity, extraordinary stories unfold. That's precisely what you'll hear as I, Carlene Humphrey, host an intimate chat with Dr. Diego Humphrey—an embodiment of resilience and academic triumph. We journey through the halls of St. George's University in Grenada, a cradle of medical excellence, and discuss its origins tied to Charles Modica's vision and Eric Gairy's support. Uncle Dee, as we affectionately call him, recounts his early days as a pioneering Grenadian student, overcoming the skepticism of his qualifications and the intense dedication required to grasp the American medical system's complexities.
Our conversation takes an even deeper turn as Uncle D bares the soul of a cardiologist, sharing not just the rigorous path of residency and fellowship that shaped his expertise, but also the moments of financial strife and personal sacrifice. He recounts a pivotal experience in an ICU that cemented his calling, and we marvel at his perseverance to secure a place among the esteemed medical community in Philadelphia. This episode isn't just a testament to Uncle Dee's journey; it's a beacon of inspiration for anyone who dreams of wearing the white coat but doubts the possibility. So, lend us your ears, and let the story of Uncle Dee's ascent to a lauded cardiologist stir your heart and ignite your aspirations.
