Dr Tuck Meng Soo has a life story like few other GPs.

Arriving in Canberra as a gay Chinese man in 1989, Dr Soo spent several years working at the Interchange General Practice before taking over from Dr Peter Rowland as practice principal after Dr Rowland was murdered in what many still suspect was a homophobic hate crime.
