Prof Zamboni attended an MS-CCSVI session in Melbourne on Friday evening. Kerri spoke and was fantastic! Dr Thibault gave a serviceable outline of CCSVI for newbies and Prof Zamboni answered some questions.
Prof Zamboni got a 'standing' ovation and when he left with his followers, it almost seemed like a political rally or religious experience. Have we ever seen a medical practitioner who has such connection wiih the public or his patients?
Any other thoughts from those present?

Brainteaser,
I would have prefered if Dr Zamboni was allocated more time to respond to questions from the audience.
Regards

I agree. There were a few of us with hands up when questions were stopped. But I guess these sort of events need to run to tight schedules.
The program on CCSVI was finally shown on Australian free to air TV. The 7:30 Report, on digital TV, channel 21. It was also the very first item covered.
It was interesting to see that the reporter correctly had the initial Zamboni article at 3 years old, while Kerry said it was two, again [see the date]. It also had an interview of Dr Thibault; which reminds me I have to setup another appointment for an ultrasound. Hopefully he will not be flooded with calls because of the TV programme; at least not until after my appointment.

So this isn't the one that was talked of months ago? ah! just did a look back, I was confusing this with the "Sunday" program, which was talked about over a year ago.

the commercial tv station is still sitting on that other one! I guess they got scooped.
