Housecleaning update:
- I have a feeling that Ricardo will send me a horrible case after the pericardial mesothelioma one he took last time!
- Yoel owes us a follow up on the post-partum???? case.
- And if I remember correctly both Bill and Leon said they had a great case they wanted to share.
- We are expecting some new faces. Should make for another fantastic get-together.
Hope to see you all in a few days!
