Among SA’s latest batch of freshly minted doctors is one that has made the unusual leap from MP to GP.

In a Tweet, he commented on a photo of himself and fellow GP registrars on completion of their RACGP fellowship exams.

Celebrating success in the recent RACGP Exams…the GPs of tomorrow…plus one mature aged graduate 😊 https://t.co/ZS3NatglrF
