Parents are invited to Dr. Herzenberg's Sept 4th meeting

August 24, 2004

Dr. Herzenberg sent me an e-mail today with an invitation to parents

to come to their Ponseti method training meeting in Baltimore on

September 4, 2004. The details of the meeting, schedule, topics and

faculty are attached below. I believe that the location for this

meeting is at the Sinai Hospital address in Northern Baltimore and

not at the Sheraton Hotel downtown. For those who go to Dr.

Herzenberg, is this correct? The following is from Dr. Herzenberg.

Please get the word out to the parents on the nosurgery4clubfoot

discussion group that they are all welcome to observe the

conference. I have already invited about 12 families with their

babies for a demonstration clinic. These babies/children have all

been selected for demonstrating specific teaching points. I

understand some other parents may be interested in observing as

well. Other families who wish to attend on their own are welcome,

but I respectfully request that they NOT bring their children (too

difficult for the kids to sit through a long conference, and

disruptive if they start crying during the lectures...) There is

some information posted on www.deformitycourse.com under " pre-

course symposia " . Attached to this email is a recent version of the

schedule. I only request that they email Madeline Bacon

(mbacon@...) ahead of time so that we can arrange

seating in the back of the auditorium for them.

Hi ,

Thanks for the info! Either Dr H read my mind or my post LOL!

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend after all due to the

(completely reasonable) request to not bring children along.
