GP couple who moved to Australia in 1973 retire after a combined century in general practice
The duo saw the emergence of ultrasound, battled thunderstorm asthma and delivered babies by the roadside.
After treating an estimated 60,000 patients between them, GP couple Dr Promila Singh-Panwar and Dr Thakur Singh-Panwar are retiring while they remain “rational and logical”.
They have witnessed firsthand the medical revolutions of MRI and ultrasound, plus one that Dr Promila said was underrated: the first salbutamol inhalers.
Working in regional NSW, she and her husband were on alert for the dangers of thunderstorm asthma for years before the 2016 epidemic.
“When the wind blew, we knew it would bring asthma,” she said.
