|
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
Although it was my first trip to European medical congresses It was surprisingly well-organized and on time, attending persons after paying registration fee could take part in every panels without any extra charge.
Another interesting issue for me was enthusiastic between partners to take part in panels that about 10 minutes before each panel you can not find any empty place for sitting so, many persons while sitting on the floor were following lectures.
One more lesson for me was that I myself had not exact understanding of patients pain and it seems that most of physicians usually underestimate patients pain but for this purpose in the main hall of congress venue they place an especial machine to make different levels of pain in your arm virtually to help physicians for better comprehension of pain and it was grate! |
