We need to fill this room and make sure the Pa Medical Society and the Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians KNOW that this issue is NOT GOING AWAY!! [Wink]

It is very important for them to get behind this legislation (Pa House bill #894) for their doctors so that their docs have the right to decide how THEY want to treat.......not some insurance company!!! [Mad]

Pat Smith will be speaking and the search for an ILADS dr. was still underway... [Big Grin]

Hey Dek...

I hope to get there too. Everything is possible, sometimes. Maybe I will see you?

I've been working on some stuff that will be shared at the meeting for the last few days, so I am hoping the event goes well for our PA neighbors.

Good luck PA!!!
