Wan Yik-shing (1925)

updated

MRCS (Eng.) 1918; LRCP (Lond.) 1918; BS 1921, MB 1924 (Cantab.). Registered to practice Hong Kong September 30, 1921; re-registered November 14, 1941. Engaged by School of Pathology, HKU 1941. Residence: #20 Caine Road 1921.

[The names of Wan Yik-shing and Kuo Shao-hong were the last two entries in the Medical Register in 1941. Hong Kong came under the attack of the Japanese on December 8, 1941. What puzzles me is that Wan's name appeared on the medical register without interruption ever since his first registration in 1921. The need to re-register is unknown to me.]

Selected bibliography: The Hong Kong Government Gazette, September 30, 1921, Notice #402; November 21, 1941, item #1399.
