From Cyprus to the Bermuda Triangle and back again, Major John Fisher has seen more of public health than the average EHO, and for that, he has the Territorial Army to thank. Cathy Savage met him at TA training camp and talked to him about his double life. Major Fisher is strikingly awake. Although he's sitting in a comfortable armchair, he has a sense of alertness which makes other people in the room look half asleep. Yet by rights he should be sleepy too. He is, after all, in the middle of a demanding TA training exercise, providing environmental health support for a hospital designed to hold 200 beds with dozens of brilliantly faked-up casualties arriving hourly. Not only that, but this gruelling work is being undertaken in a break from his ordinary job as head of environmental health at Canterbury. It's hardly a typical holiday.
