Agbo’s name rings a bell in discussions centred around Nigerian physician-writers, whose clinical practices have reinforced literary creativity over the years. Although Osmund was trained as a medical doctor in Nigeria, he has subsequently practiced as a pulmonologist and critical care physician in the United States. He has since occupied a peculiar intellectual corridor, with his scientific knowledge and humanistic curiosity. This rare privilege allows him to tackle issues surrounding pain, death, and guilt outside the hospital premises as well.
