The sheet lists the individual citations; we publish the figure it states rather than an edited selection of them.
What the profile does not settle. The experience figure is undated and does not quite square with the rest of the sheet: it says "more than 29 years" while dating the MBBS to 1995, which is thirty-one years to the date we read it. Published as the profile's own words rather than corrected.
