One of my colleagues, Dr Bernard Shevlin, from the Professional Speakers Association, invited me along to one of the sessions he organises for doctors in North Staffordshire. The speaker was a charming gentleman from Brooklyn, New York. He was Professor Sadowsky, who is a GP and health educator. I wanted to go as I am keen to speak in the USA and wanted to learn about the system over there.
The Professor talked about recent advances that have changed his practice. He spoke about a whole range of illnesses and recent progress in research which has impacted upon his delivery of health care. One fact which amazed me was that 80% of US medics still use paper records use a paper system as the government will not fund a national system of IT.

Dr Shevlin has also just published an excellent book to help children come to terms with various health problems ranging from warts to bed wetting! Have a look at

It has some charming stories about a boy and an elephant.
I wish you every success with it Bernard!
