on 5/10/11 8:06 am
On the Eve of the National Blood Transfusion Medicine Conference is our Province wide Blood Conservation Conference. . .I am presenting the subject of Blood Conservation Strategies for the Post-Surgical Bariatric Patient.  For those of you who have heard me speak on the subject of Post-surgical Bariatric Anemias, you will know that this is a special area of interest for me.  If the presentation is well received it will be added to the speakers list, and I may be invited to represent the group in the international conference arena. 

I am a bit nervous, and a great deal more apprehensive.

Fingers crossed and moving on

You'll do great, if you get nervous just imagine them all naked. You know your topic so well, and are passionate about it .. 



Sometimes the best support  you can get isn't all purple puddles and pink rainbows.

Thanks for the support Deb, Audrey and everyone else for that matter.  The presentation went very well and has been endorsed by the program to be given at the professional level.
