This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Just added to Dr. Haacke's posting of the conference on his website:

This is for medical professionals only-

cheer

mcmaster is where my neuro is located.. it would be fun to be a fly on the wall at this thing, maybe i can get my GP or my neuro to go and take video LOL

Any updates on the Hamilton meeting of the CCSVI great minds?

jimmylegs - I think a video is an excellent idea. There are a few doctors in the world with expertise in this area. To roll this expertise out efficiently, they need to train others to perform and interpret Dopplers and MRV's (train-the-trainer). I know the papers are available, and an "easy read" guide to performing Dopplers has been produced - but there's nothing like seeing it done.

Of course it would be best for professionals to attend the workshop...but it's impractical for professionals in the Southern Hemisphere (think Australia, NZ and alike) to fly to Canada for an afternoon of demonstrations and training. We're talking more than 24 hrs travel each way!

If you have contacts who will be at this workshop...please please please convince them to take a video !

Dr Haacke...I hope you're reading. You can get rid of the avalanche of pesky enquiries with a lovely video demonstration.

In this day and age, just doing a simple worldwide netcast to other professionals isn't difficult and would yield 1000% results in a short amount of time.

I have made a contact with the Hamilton Spectator, the local newspaper. They are interested in knowing more about the workshop. Haacke's website has been the same for the passed week.
Does anyone have inside information?? or are things still being planned?
Some one please advise me.

If the facebook community could gather 10,000 people to protest the progogueing of Parliament, let's get the MS community together in a show of support and rally in Hamilton at St. Joseph's for Dr. Haake, Zamboni, Zivadinov and the rest of the CCSVI researchers. Avis Favro from CTV must know about this event and you have informed the local paper. Let's get lots of us and lots of press out.

Anyone interested?

Thanks for the contact Arcee

Its about time someone bought a video camera. I hope it ain't betamax...

The program of the workshop
It looks VERY interesting. New results are expected!

At least they are going to finsih in time for the Super Bowl! LOL

I wonder how much they can accomplish in 5 hours? I hope if there is any kind of press or activism, it doesn't interrupt that precious collaboration and learning time.

The program is fantastic - with Simka now on board and Salvi too, and the Jordanian group, it will be extremely valueable. Plus Zivadanov hopefully will allude to the Buffalo findings.
