MARCO Grand Rounds for December 6, 2015

From Warren KD4GUA:

THIS SUNDAY WE WILL DISCUSS AN UPCOMING “TELEHEALTH” SERVICE which will change the way we practice!!!!  From the simple telephone Rx to “Virtual Care Centers” things are moving—Let’s not chase it, let’s catch it….
Tune in and bring your talents to the mike.

AND, just to make one feel better…remember when the doctor used to be the family friend, and didn’t need insurance or a lawyer to defend…the way that he took care of you or what he had to do, because he took an oath and strived to do the best for you!  let’s strive to keep it that way!

MARCO Grand Rounds for November 1, 2015

CME Credit and Grand Rounds for October 18, 2015

From Warren KD4GUA:

   This Sunday will be SPECIAL....Dr Wayne Rosenfield K1WDR will share the mike with me as he discusses GAUCHER DISEASE.  Never seen a case?  Don't feel badly as I haven't either!  BUT, it's out there.......waiting to be discovered.  Brush away the cobwebs from pathology and join us.  Wayne is an excellent speaker--I met him in Myrtle Beach and he put me on to the book we feature on Page 11 of Aether. "Simple Courage" the story of a HAM captain aboard a sinking merchant ship.

     I talked to "Lee" (female) at my hospital and she said one MARCO member from Ft. Lauderdale had taken the test ("Deep Brain Stimulation) on www.mpmcme.org (David DOV ?).  The affiliation with Morton Plant Hospital, Clearwater, FL is being waived for MARCO through my affiliation....an excellent way to get CME Category 1 credit and request copies of your attendance which they keep on file.  I get a lot of my information for Grand Rounds from these great lectures as well as keep up my CME for licensure.  Hope you are on board Sunday, should be FUN.

And remember, music is not allowed on the HAM bands—not even singing “Happy Birthday?” (exception—to other hams, most appreciated and a first!)
