Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share some great information with all of you. Florida
Hospital Celebration Health will be hosting a 2 day seminar for
physicians titled "The Underlying Cause of Chronic Abdominal/Pelvic
Pain". The course directors are Steven McCarus, MD and Jay Redan, MD.
IAS's David Wiseman, PhD is co-directing the course. This is going to
be an amazing educational opportunity for physicians to learn more about
adhesions. Some of the topic titles are "How does a patient with
complex abdominal and pelvic pain syndrome present to their doctor? What
is their typical work-up and follow-up? How do patients get lost in the
system?" presented by faculty, "Fact versus Fiction! Causes of adhesions
and prevention measures" presented by Douglas Ott, MD and David Wiseman,
PhD, and "When to operate on patients with adhesions as a cause of
abdominal pain" presented by Jay Redan, MD. These are only a few of the
many adhesion related topics that will be discussed. I encourage you to
forward the course information on to all of your doctors so that they
can be educated by the leaders in adhesion treatment. If we can get a
lot of doctors to attend, think of how much more effective treatment
will be for everyone! I am so excited about this because awareness is
being raised by CAPPS. The staff at CAPPS DO care about adhesion
patients....let's help them raise awareness by getting our doctors to
attend this conference. You can find the course information at
http://www.adhesionscenter.com, click on "for physicians" and the full course
and registration information will come up. Thanks for reading
this...special thanks to Dr. Wiseman for creating IAS and to Tracy for
maintaining the site!!
Sincerely,
Sarah, CAPPS patient
