We appreciate your thoughts and here are some of our favorites that we want to share. Question: What did you learn from the presentation? What can you implement immediately in your practice? "This presentation reinforced the importance of diabetic foot examinations and the opportunity to prevent future amputations during routine visits." "The heart poem regarding the different types of heart blocks was great. these two were a great lecture series. they hit the key points. reminded me a lot of a really good board review." "Amputation levels that I haven't thought about in a while since we don't really do some of the more proximal ones."
