HiP is into sustainability because it is the new
cool.
He suffered a set back, however, when he was diagnosed with a terminal
illness..... yes he has the big "C"..... Consumerism.
After consulting specialists, Hip has bounced back - he has learnt
to put his consumerism to good, healthy uses.

"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.
