About Me

If you are anything like me, you will do all you can to avoid having to visit the doctor. My name is Francis and I live alone in a small apartment in Sydney, Australia. Last year, I finally decided to go and see my GP about a pain in my back. While I was there, the doctor also measured my height and weight.

I am so pleased I got to know my GP.
