I do apologize if this is being redundant, or already being done. But another good thing that can work to our advantage is log on to any area hospital near you. Seek out areas such as Public speaking, symposiums, and free lectures. These for the most part are open to the public and if you see something involving ENT, or something related, if you can go then by all means go. Take notes, bring a tape recorder, even print out a paper with website address and leave it on a table near the exit (you know how people are naturally curious when they see a web address!) I'm personally logging into Mass General, Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary.
Any news is great news!

OK! I'll be quiet now.. ... maybe
