Gretchen,and Lillian, This is a neat new twist. Glad of the reminder. Also ..AMWA mailing list spinoff, led me to a very interesting conference (wed.Mar 24th) at Columbia Presyteian, now, New York Presbyterian Medical Center. Doctors represening several disciplines mainly prediatrics and childhood diabetes exhorted a group of science-medical writers to learn all the facts and acquire accurate inormation as to the inner worrkings of the medical /surgical/sociologic event in order to enhance empathy between the community and hospital. Eliminating stress from the pediatric situation was dramatically illustratedaed when members of the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center bunced to dais and showed us how they do it: Kiwi the clown left us smiling and holding a red carnation.. We do have the opportunity and responsibility . I was jolly well glad I managed to attend despite the early morning cold rain. Keep us posted AMWA ! [log in to unmask] (Mary Manfredi, AMW-NY)
