12, June. We spent our morning in outpatient clinic in the dr Sturgeon's office. Cord has two rooms, each of it has the similar equipment. In each room has transformed place to observation, laptop, ultrasound machine, all set for fine-needle aspiration.

Cord explained us, that two similar rooms with not cheep devices  need in order to avoid patient's waiting. While Cord was talking with patient in the first room, in the other room his resident gathers complains and anamnesis. There are a lot considered decisions In outpatient clinic.

 This is the artificial meal for learning lostweighting patients. Cord has own specialist for painting slices by two methods. 

Next meeting was introducing us with dr Peter Koop, the main editor of "Thyroid". The result of interesting conversation became offer of publishing Russian version of "Thyroid". He accompanied us in our visit to genetic lab, which impressed us by modern facilities (for example - the machine, which reads gene entirely, not exon by exon, and it price tenfold less, then old sequence-reading  devices.  

Then I watched to parathyroidectomy, and I was exited  with learning process: Cord helped his resident, and explained her some details right on the paper sheet, covering patient.
