Oh yes, totally granted on all points. Thank you for the breakdown on London costs - that's an interesting Brit pick sort of point for your ongoing series, btw. :-)
I imagine the day-to-day strep throat Delhi-belly sorts of things are why John is quite a good sort of GP, actually, but he's over qualified for that sort of thing, Sarah tells us that. Also, he was shot, and I imagine it wasn't a freak insurgent on a tear through the hospital.
I'm also imagining that he isn't a surgeon, though, because of the same distinction you point out - Dr vs. Mr. So where's the happy medium? I'm also struggling because I have extremely limited knowledge of medical matters. As someone who doesn't know anything about anything, I'd be scanning and testing and finding out everything I could about an injury before even snapping on my plastic gloves, but John wouldn't do, so I can't write him like that, of course.
Just having a grasp of what people who have been through medical school in the UK would probably make me feel better, because then I could say - baseline - John at the very least knows this and would be proficient at this point in performing all baseline procedures. Hm. Perhaps google is my friend there...
