Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hi , Thanks for the note! The meeting in Hilton Head is from Oct. 24-27th. Sylvia and I will attend on behalf of the Support Group. They allow us to have a booth there with our brochures etc. The meetings are composed of serious physician and researcher presentations. I think that two or three of the presentations this year are directed towards MSA. I don't know how helpful it would be for you and to attend or whether you would enjoy it at all. The medical terms used by the doctors in presentations to other doctors is generally so far over my head that I am very quickly lost. This is a meeting of doctors speaking to doctors and I find myself being pretty much on the sidelines! The main reason for us being there is to meet the doctors outside of the conference and continue to make each of them aware of the Support Group, express to them how much they are appreciated and remind them to refer patients and family members who are dealing with SDS/MSA to our Support Group. We carry brochures with us, give them to the attendees and ask for permission to send a supply of them to their offices where they can be displayed. Do you still live there in Hilton Head? Maybe we could get together and have dinner or something. Please stay in touch. I'd love to get together with y'all while we're there. Best regards to you both, Don Summers Re: PLEASE HELP!
