Dr Funk is from the 'New Paradigm' where
the is no Health Industry because everyone is well!
Instead, there is a thriving Funk Industry run by former
medicos such as Dr Funk who help people enhance their funk-factor.
The Doc is keen to show you the new tricks of the trade.

"It
was an absolute pleasure to work with David. It is quite
seldom that one has the opportunity to work with someone
contributes beyond what is required of his position. David
not only has terrific work ethic and organisational skills
but was instrumental in the success of our major event for
the year, assisting us in making the goals of the event
a possibility."
"His ability
to contribute on a number of levels, both on an interactive
and organisational level, endeared him to all who attend
our major conference. I would recommend him to any organisation
and hope that your time with him is as enjoyable as ours
has been." - Joe-Anthony Rotella, Chair
- General Practice Student Network.

has an acute sensibility to see opportunities in our conference

levels of interaction. Whether in character or as himself,
he succeeds in adding enthusiasm and connection to events."
