Article is new enough and long enough. Reads neutral. Good sources & assuming good faith for two that are offline.

There's a little more overlap than I'd like to see to this source. Iainmacintyre, would you review this report & change the highlighted wording to be more in your own words?

Also, the hook is OK as-is, but it would be interesting to mention something about Fahmy's medical career. Maybe simply adding "Scottish obstetrician and gynaecologist" before "Dr" in the current hook? What are your thoughts? = paul2520 (talk) 20:08, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks @Paul2520:.
I've done some text edits so that the only overlaps now are proper nouns. '...given the option of playing...' is , I think, best retained for precision.
I deliberately didn't style him as 'obstetrician and gynaecologist' as he wasn't at that stage.
Thanks again. Papamac (talk) 20:40, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good to go. Thanks, Iainmacintyre! = paul2520 (talk) 06:26, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
