Dr. Brian Foo

Doctors are a funny bunch, service-wise. Some operate on the avuncular-family-doctor model, oozing reassurance. Others operate on the you-only-break-one-leg model and seem only interested in (a) the medical problem and (b) the bill. Dr Brian Foo hits the business-like, competent sweet spot in the middle. He is polite without being matey, and he is sympathetic, without missing a chance to give you the medical message. Representative example:

Dr Foo - "Your cholesterol is a bit high".

Me - "How do I stop that?

Dr Foo - "Eat less fat."

Being a GP in a Woolloomooloo means you need to be prepared for anything, and Dr Foo apparently is. I'm a fan.
