I wanted to thank you for arranging the amyloidosis presentation for our residents.  I found the didactic information very useful, and Ms. Perez’s discussion was interesting and compelling.  She brought to light one of the things that I discuss frequently with our residents – if you are having trouble with a diagnosis or treatment plan, sometimes it’s best to take a breath, start over, and look at the available information again.  A diagnostic “time out” can be helpful if you are stuck.  I find that true in my practice even after 40 years of doing this.
