PDSA Conference was created by Sandi
The PDSA is doing something new this year. They will be having Q & A sessions in small groups with the PDSA medical advisors. I think this is a great addition to the conference and will give you a chance to ask those important, individual questions!

Just an FYI.

Here is a loaded question. But I know you can handle it and make answering it look simple :)

Do you suppose any of the doctors at the conference knows anything about the study suggesting that all ITP/PIT can be accounted for by four antibodies?

Hal, the doctors that will be there probably conducted the studies. I'm not 100% sure about that since I haven't looked at the authors, but if they weren't involved, they probably know or have some opinion about it. The PDSA usually only involves the top ITP hematologists who know the latest information. Most of the time, the credible studies are conducted/written by the same circle of doctors.

You talking about the one in Arizona? Sandi are you going?? is there a chance I will get to meet you??

The 2 Canadian doctors that are going I'm hoping to talk with. Dr. Arnold was the doctor I saw during the Rituximab study. Dr. Semple Phd. he actually does scientific studies on platelets!

Thanks Sandi I will start preparing a question to ask!
