i looked at their website and not all are british GPs. some are australians and some are singaporeans. However, you are correct that they all have some associations with overseas education- basic or further degrees abroad. All went through residency, except Dr Woodworth

also this sgp did his med degree in austria?

my passive income has reduced since i became a consultant as i got busier and more stressful with work. now that i have quit my consultant job and moved back to sg, i have just gotten back to managing my portfolios.
my passive income has been four figure monthly when i was a resident and exceeded my living expenses. sometimes i feel medicine is slowing my life down because i am constantly stressed by it. i am not good in studies and always lagging behind in learning.

Kinda find expats stupid enough to spend $70 on a longer consult when they can get the same job done at a cheap neighbourhood clinic for $20 and within 5 mins
