The keen landscape and nature photographer has worked in hospitals in China and Australia, including the Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) in Sydney, but now lives in Naracoorte in south-east South Australia where he is finishing his training as a GP registrar.
He was one of only two overseas-trained doctors taken on by the RPA in 2010.
During his time with the RPA, health problems again struck and he was treated for bowel cancer.
