Dr Ian Bennett
(MBBS) |
When
I am not busy being a husband and father, I love going bush, or riding
my motorbike. Then, when I am not sleeping, I am a doctor for a few
hours every day.
I
am very proud of my practice and my staff and I enjoy my patients. My
main emphasis is on individual patient care and long-term health
management.
Over
the years, I have developed a special interest in child and adolescent
health, natural health/medication, sports medicine and palliative care,
though I have maintained my interest in all spheres of general
practice. In what is left of the day, I continue to study as this job
is ever changing.
A
large part of my job now is education for both the GP Registrars and
the Medical Students. This is very important, especially training the
next generation of family doctors who want to enjoy the special
relationship we GP’s have with our patients.
I
believe in practicing good common sense medicine, tailored to the
individual. I believe we enjoy our life by having good health. |

Dr Jane Habib
(MBBS)
|
Dr
Jane Habib came to medicine later in life, after being a stay at home
Mum for 12 years. With much trepidation she went back to study and
completed the first Australian degree in Naturopathy at Southern Cross
University in 1999. Her 3 children and long-suffering husband survived
(just). She
then went on to study medicine, graduating from Queensland University
in 2004, and coming to Cairns Base Hospital as an Intern. Jane is
currently
finishing
her GP training and is looking forward to combining complementary
therapies and medicine after her exams are completed. She loves general
practice, and her special interests are preventive health, chronic
disease management, women’s health and tropical medicine. Normally her
time off is spent relaxing with a good book or movie, trying to get
fit, ringing her 3 children, and when time allows, travelling. However,
this year will be all about study! |
