Doctor retires after 40 years
In a very short time Peninsula residents will be celebrating another Christmas.
However I'm sure they will be saddened by the news that one our dedicated doctors will be taking down his shingle in an effort to join the realms of the retired.
General practicioner Dr. Harvey Wai Shing will be leaving his practice in Oscar St, Umina, where he has practiced for approximately 40 years.
It is no doubt that his long hours, five days a week, driving daily from his northern suburbs home, for so long would ultimately take its toll.
It could not be denied that Dr Harvey has served his many patients so well for so long.
His medical knowledge and compassionate care over the many years since he came to Umina has been second to none, and there are many who would certainly claim that they would not be alive today without his expertise and care.
The Wai Shing practice is scheduled to close this Christmas.
I am sure all of his patients will miss him and his wife Denise, but will also wish them both a happy and healthy retirement for many years to come.
