Date : Thursday October 22
Time: 9:15 PM EDT (Note that this is the time zone for Baltimore, MD or Washington, DC)
Place: http://www.chatzy.com/600868137410
Temporary password: lldtest
Day of chat password must be requested by email a few days prior to the chat if you don't already have it
Note to the "regulars" - we will be re-using the password from August and September. So if you received that password, it will work for this chat. However, please drop me an email and let me know if you are planning to come so that I can give Dr. Standard an idea how many people will be coming. We will see how this works and if we have too many surprise visitors show up, we'll go back to monthly passwords. Our concern is the password becoming public knowledge, and there are some creepy people on the internet, so if unexplained people start to show up, we'll go back to monthly passwords.
For those of you who haven't participated in this before, Dr. Standard (and occassionally Dr. Herzenberg) participate in periodic online, real-time chats. They are happy to answer any of your questions, regarding lengthening or any other options. Please email me for a Word document with more a more complete explanation.
If you want to email Dr. Standard any questions or x-rays ahead of time, his email address is in the instructions document. Please cc me on the email so that I can keep a list of who has emailed in ahead of time. (I print that out for him before the chat, to help jog his memory).
Any questions, or for the password, please email me at vbrady@lifebridgehealth.org. Please request passwords *before* that Tuesday for two reasons - 1) sometimes our spam filter diverts the requests and 2) so I won't panic that no one is coming. I'll be setting the password to the new/old one on the day of the chat. Until then you may use the test password above to enter the room to practice, and if you've never done this before, you may want to practice.
Now the request - the following week, we will be doing a chat on achondroplasia and other types of "dwarfism". If you happen to be on any support groups where you might meet families with this diagnosis, or know of anyone who might be interested, please feel free to give them all of the info and ask them to contact me for details.
Any questions, please contact me directly. (I don't get to this forum as often as I'd like to check for replies).
