I was privileged to be part of this event, at the kind invitation of my friend and colleague Dr Sujatha Jagadeesh. The event was organised by the FCRF , and held at their new expanded facility at the VHS Hospital, Chennai. Support was provided by Sanofi Genzyme. The event was held over two days. The mornings were taken up with lectures on LSD’s. In the afternoon there was a teleclinic, in which the patient examination, description of physical findings and discussions, including discussions with parents, were all filmed and relayed audiovisually to the audience in the adjacent room. This allowed a large number of people to “sit in” and observe without upsetting or intimidating the families. The teleclinic was Dr Sujatha’s idea; so simple and yet so effective that one wonders why it is not done more often!!
