  • Wonderful, and necessary to every hepatologist.
  •  If the program could happen on 7 days, we would have more chance to attend more live patient’s demonstrations with different technical problems that arise in each procedure. This could promote an additional benefit of knowledge, information and skill that might be transformed, multiplied and applied in the original local medical service of each doctor. If the program could offer extra normal time, then another possibility could include supplementary activities like live equipment’s and needle’s demonstrations, simultaneously with their applications of each particular industry company: Covidien, Toshiba, GE….
