Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 >Hi Andre, are you going to the symposium August 28 or 29? Shirley< Shirley, When I saw this it made me rethink my assumption that everybody was coming for both days. The reason I ask is due to the fact that we are full. If someone isn't coming for both days, it might open up a spot for someone for at least one day. If those who are registered are not planning on coming for both days, let me know. Here is the updated agenda. Karyn E. , RN, Exec.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Shirley, Consider yourself registered for both days, but do what ever you need to do regarding driving, arriving and leaving. I do appreciate knowing that you will be arriving at noon thereabouts on Thursday. That way I won't be looking for you in the morning. Registration & Sign in starts at 8am, but the 1st session doesn't start until 9am. The sessions are 75 minutes each with a break in between each one. Lunch is one hour. The rest in on the agenda I sent you. It's starting to be exciting. I am asking for all to pray that I am able to negotiate an agreement with the medical school administration. I am inviting their students, faculty, & staff to attend Dr. Sutherland's presentation, in exchange for an auditorium or other classroom that can hold 60 for Friday & Saturday. This is a world renowned speaker, and it is ludicrous if very possible person who is interested doesn't attend. Yesterday, when I called to go over travel arrangements, Dr. Sutherland had flown to Turkey to give a presentation. That was after surgery, and before another case he was to do that night,,,in the US. I reminded them that we are no big medical convention, we are just people whose lives have been affected by Pancreatitis, who have come together in a common search for the end to the insanity, and a little bit of quality of life. He normally speaks to audiences of 750 - 1000, and we are hoping to have 30, maybe 60. We can't pick him up in a limousine, but a Honda. I just want to make sure he is aware of the venue he will be speaking at. All he says, is, " Book my flight, I am looking forward to coming. " It is so unusual to meet someone who walks the path of humility, whose vision is purely focused on helping other people, and eliminating disease from their life. Wow, Karyn E. , RN, Exec.

Director, PAI Dear Karyn, I have contacted SCCH, Regional Hospital, and Union hospitals in this area asking them to post the information concering the upcoming symposium. I hope this draws some interest from this area. If I can think of anyone else to contact, I will contact them also. I am so sorry that the turnout is not good and wish I could take some of this burden off of you, Thinking of you, Jean Lindley > *http://www.pancassociation.org > > > PANCREATITIS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL > 4TH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON PANCREATITIS > Day 1 Thursday, August 28, 2003 > 08:00am > Registration > > 08:30am > Opening Remarks > Karyn , RN > > 09:00am > Pancreatitis----- What We Know Now > Evan Fogel, MD > Associate Professor, Division of Gastroenterology / Hepatology, > Indiana University School of Medicine > > 10:15am > Break > > 10:30am > Endoscopy-----ERCP & Beyond > Lee Mchenry, MD > Associate Professor, Division of Gastroenterology / Hepatology, > Indiana University School of Medicine > > 12:00pm > Lunch > > 01:00pm > Pharmacological Management of Pain > Neil Irick, MD > Private Practice, Pain management Consultants > Pain & Palliative Medicine Consultant, Indiana University Medical Center > > 02:15pm > Break > > 02:30pm > PsychoSocial & Spiritual Issues of Chronic Illness & Chronic Pain > A Panel Discussion > E.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I have contacted SCCH, Regional Hospital, and Union hospitals in this area with information concerning the symposium<< Jean, Thank you for the help in advertising. I sent some information about it. Go ahead and fill out a Registration form so we will have it. I will let everyone know as soon we find a larger room. It may need to be at the medical school, but that is right across the hospital from the Conference center. Karyn E. , RN, Exec.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hi all. I haven't been able to get on the Board to post in quite a while. Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. Haven't read much on the Symposium. Was just wondering how it went and if there's anything new. I, too, wished I had been able to make it, but it wasn't possible. Thanks and hope everyone is having a pain free day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Felicity, all Yes, this year's Symposium was a great success. I had to leave to go out of town for 3 days right after it finished, so I am just now getting back to wading through all the e-mail that built up over the past 5 days. The attendance hit its " peak " during Dr. Sutherland's sessions on Friday morning - 48 were present, about 20 of which were various doctors and other health care professionals from several of the local hospitals here in Indianapolis. They seemed quite excited by the information Dr. Sutherland had to share with them. There were 28 patients/caregivers present at some point during the 2- day SYmposium. Not everyone was able to attend all the sessions, but they were all very worthwhile. It was good to see many of the folks from this board, including Kimber, Keri, Heidi, Lilly, , Shirley, Sue R., Gail M., Peg B., Jean, , Jackie ... who am I forgetting? Also a number of others who don't have computer access, but who found out about the Symposium through other means (one of the GI doctors at IU had taken it upon himself to mail flyers about the Symposium directly to a number of his patients!). In addition to Dr. Sutherland's 3 sessions, we had 2 sessions led by GI doctors; one by a pain management specialist; one by an RN/diabetes management specialist; a panel on dealing with " spirituality issues " led by an RN, a therapist, and a hospital chaplain; and one by an opthalmologist who specializes in vision problems caused by diabetes. We also had a panel of 4 of Dr. Sutherland's former patients who have had the Total Pancreatectomy and Auto Islet Cell Transfer who shared their experiences with that procedure. In addition, we had time for a number of the patients present to " share their stories " in dealing with this disease. Gail W. did a marvelous job in creating " notebooks " for all the attendees, with pertinent excerpts from the PAI, along with all the handouts from the speakers. And Peg designed and provided special pins with a golden rose and green ribbon to mark the event. Kristy's wonderful arrangement of flowers (proteas?) from Hawaii made the journey safely, and was prominently on display at every session. We were able to video tape all the sessions, and I think the quality of the recording this year will be excellent, since we had the use of the university's " professional " video equipment, and the sound was fed directly from the speakers' lapel mics into the recorder. WIth over 16 hours of presentations, it will take us some time to go through it all, edit it, and get it ready for distribution to any/all who are interested. Once again, we will make those copies available for " cost " , including copies of all the handouts. I don't know exactly what that cost will be yet - depends on how many video tapes are required to hold all the sessions. We may look into the possibility of putting this year's Symposium procedings on DVD as well as VHS, depending on the cost. It will probably take at least a month for us to get that ready. When the copies are available, it will be announced on the message board. Thanks to all who helped make this event possible, and especially to Karyn for her " blood, sweat, and tears " ... and the vision she has held for the PAI. It always takes quite a bit out of her, but hopefully she'll be able to get back to posting on the board herself soon. In the meantime, I know she would appreciate hearing any/all words of encouragement that any of you would care to send her. It's a huge undertaking, and sometimes seems somewhat " thankless " . But all who were able to attend this year know how important this event has become. Plan now to attend next year's Symposium!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I'm so glad Tull was able to explain the symposium adgenda so throughly and I'm so glad I was able to be a participant of this informative and educational experience. I attended all sessions Thursday and most of Friday. Unfortunately flight connections and a previous commitment here at home caused me to have to miss the Friday afternoon session, which was the session on Opthamology with Diabetes and the PAN-AICT forum with Shirley, Sue, Gail and . I'm really sorry I had to miss that, ladies, but your comments earlier brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart, and I'm honored to have met you even so briefly. Keep your stories alive, so that others may benefit from your experience! I thought each session was worthwhile, and especially enjoyed Dr. Sutherland, (especially when he could slow down), Dr. McHenry and the pain management physician's discussion. I know now I will make this a yearly commitment. While speaking of commitments, I can't say enough about the commitment of one special woman that made this possible for us, and that would be Karyn. It must have taken phenominal hours of time and effort all year, and a tremendous amount of stress and corrdination to put this whole two day symposium together, and I am amazed that she did so and that it flowed so smoothly. Her blood, sweat and tears are much appreciated by this participant. Every strong woman has a good, reliable backbone, and Tull certainly provided this for Karyn. I've never seen anyone who can run up and down stairs so often and so effortlessly, while juggling so many tasks at one time! Thank you for a job so well done! With hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 The symposium went very well. If you want to get a copy of it, Tull will annouce to the board when it is available. He said in about a month or so it should be ready. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...
