MS. GIRAND:
Our next speaker
is Elaine Orrbine. Elaine Orrbine came highly
recommended by, I think, all of her colleagues
in the neuropsychology studies that she's been
involved with. And I would appreciate it if you
would offer a warm welcome to her. We will get
the computer set up in just a moment.
MS. ORRBINE:
Make sure Dr.
Cornel is not taking any of the Microsoft
equipment.
Maybe while Laurie is setting up
the Microsoft equipment, albeit second best, I
just wanted to take this opportunity, first of
all, to thank Laurie for just an amazing,
amazing accomplishment.
It's kind of nice to be the
last speaker because you get an opportunity to
sort of get a feel and participate throughout
the day. And I really believe we all owe you
a tremendous congratulations for a wonderful day.
Along those lines
I'm going to present what I really look forward
to sharing with you and call it a happy ending.
A happy ending and hopefully we can alleviate
some fears based on a controlled trial of a
large number of children who did have Hemolytic
Uremic Syndrome.
Just before doing that I -- I
think it's important to recognize that things are
changing, they are changing in the research
world, in the health care profession and I don't
believe there are any differences in Canada and
in the US and in Europe.
And the message I want to
deliver is that we have a unique opportunity now
to work as partners, partners in academia,
partners in government, and corporate, private
industry, volunteer sectors, foundations like the
Lois Joy Galler foundation, organizations like
S.T.O.P.
We need really to work as one
because no one is going to be able to answer
all of the questions but as a team there's not
a doubt in my mind that we really can make a
big difference. And I would like to thank the
organizers of S.T.O.P. for a wonderful, wonderful
day as well as an opportunity to share our
neuropsychological study with you.
MS. GIRAND:
I may be in a
situation where the Microsoft product, having
been spoken of so highly, is now refusing to
cooperate in any way, shape or form. I will
keep working on this. Do you have copies of
your slides? Can you see them, because everyone
has copies of your slides.
MS. ORRBINE:
I will go get
them. John is saying it's because of the Apple.
I don't know.
Well usually when the multimedia
breaks down you go to slides. Unfortunately, I
was so certain that that wouldn't happen just as
an -- and I guess we will follow along in the
binders.
