Descendants of doctors who had practiced in Hong Kong before 1942 wishing to be guest authors in this blog are welcomed to drop me a line via email. (9/12/2013)

There are over 800 medical practitioners existing in Hong Kong between 1841 and 1941. I've covered 41 so far; two of them I know nothing of beyond their names, so I guess what I want to say is that – Be Patient. I'll thank you for that. (9/12/2013)
