Tor's Story
When I got back to Norway in 1969 I had 2 more years in school before graduating. In 1971 I startet my medical studies and finished those in 1977. I started my own general medical practice with 3 of my friends in 1980.
I worked there for 8-9 years. From 1988-89 I have had different positions as a medical leader. For the last 11 years I have had the responsibility for the community medicine, for the care of the elderly and the social care in the city of Trondheim in Norway (180.000 inhabitants).
I work for the municipality/ the town government and have about 4-5.000 employees!
I got married in 1975 and have four children from this marriage. Two sons and two daughters.

he has a brain damage with epileptic fits and she has big autistic problems. She lives in her own flat situated near 3 other persons with similar problems and she needs one grown up person with her all the time. Being a father to Astrid has not been easy. But I have learned a lot and I am sure that my choice of career is because of what I learned from being her father.
My first wife and I got divorced in 1989. My autistic daughter and my oldes son lived with me until Astrid got her 24 hour care from the municipality in 1990.
In 1991 I met my present wife. She works as I laboratory engineer in the hospital in our city. In 1999 Trygve, my youngest son was born. He is a bright young man with a sense of humour. We are very happy together!
