Thanks Mike,
I think that is exactly what I want, and I do remember that presentation from the conference. But when I go to click on that link, it says it's "blocked/no longer available" ??? Any other ideas? Or is this problem maybe just with my hospital's network?

Sounds like your Hospital's firewall, man. IT Departments are paranoidedly paranoid of any variations from their established corporate norm. When I worked at one hospital, I couldn't access the PPO webpage at all! I had to go to IT, which fortunately my wife was good friends with, and beg them to allow me access.

If you still have your book from the Conference, the handout is in there. If you don't have the book, I'll see if I can dig up the original PowerPoint presentation.

Mike,

Would it be possible for you to send me the powerpoint presentation too...

Thanks for being such an angel.
