I did that Neil. We also have a site called AHPRA which tells us where they Registered, how long they have been Registered and any conditions they have had on their right to Practice. This last Doctor was a Specialist in General Practice..he actually did extra exams in General Practice, he had been doing it for 16 years, had never had a complaint. He had been head of a large NHS Practice in England before he emigrated to Australia. I grilled him thoroughly on my first visit that he had all the qualities that I wanted because I needed someone to be my advocate. He was so good my parents changed GPs to be with him. He went the extra mile. I'm completely confused.
He was a devout Muslim who even donated his time to provide free medical care to small villages in Yemen where he his life was in danger on many occasions. I will miss him. He was a pacifist who abhorred any type of violence.
