My father, Colin Iskander, who has died aged 87, was a doctor who ran his GP practice from his home in Chelmsford, Essex.
Born in Solihull, West Midlands, he was the third son of Margery (nee Baker) and her husband, Nagib Iskander, who was also a GP. Colin attended Solihull school and studied medicine at St Andrews University, where he met fellow student Elspeth Whitley. They married in 1962, two years after his graduation.
