Dr Firmin works with a great anaesthetist by the name of Dr sokoloff. You have to speak half English half French with him, but the guy knows his stuff and will look after you / your child well.
In France things work a little differently. You are required to see the anaesthetist at LEAST 48 hours prior to surgery. I quite like this, because you are less anxious and so will remember all the questions you need to ask, AND you won't have to rush through medical history.
Also before leaving for France Dr Firmin's office will ask that you get some bloods and a chest x-ray done. It's standard practice there and it is to make sure that all is well when you go to theatre :-)
Now, about that bike... He had a bicycle in his office that looked a little different to your typical bike (it looked quite cool actually!!). We asked about it and he said it was ELECTRIC!! Too cool!! I want one... Where does one buy one in SA?? Hmmmm...
