Apologies to all who attended live last night! GoTo issued a massive update over the weekend and did not advise their customers. Some folks couldn’t even open their rooms – in our case we lost video. Citrix support was less than honest, causing even more grief. As you saw we had to shut down the room and restart after they reset our settings. It put me in a very grumpy mood … :-(( – apologies if I offended anyone!

Editor’s Pick: I could go for the very end with ice cream and Capt Joe’s tips on koi – BUT how about somatic testing?! It’s so important, many docs don’t test, and when they do, forget to repeat!
