The winners of the latest Australian Medicine reader survey have both taken possession of their Microsoft tablets, after their names were drawn randomly by AMA President Dr Tony Bartone.
Dr Bartone personally delivered the prize to Canberra based doctor Basil Lau who practises at the Deakin Medical Centre.
Dr Lau told Australian Medicine that it was a “wonderful” feeling to win the prize.
“How did this happen to me?” he said. “Thank you.”
The other winner was Tasmanian based general physician Dr Reza Davari Farid.
“I feel surprised and pretty good,” he said when contacted by Australian Medicine about his win.
“You never get to receive calls like this very often.”
Dr Davari Farid works at both the Royal Hobart Hospital and Calvary Hospital in Lenah Valley.
New AMA Tasmania CEO Lara Giddings delivered his prize.
A report of the reader survey findings will appear in the next edition of Australian Medicine.
Dr Bartone is pictured here with Dr Basil Lau.
