TGAVC ANNUAL FISHING TOURNAMENT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3 | 7:30 a.m. to Noon Departs from Boca Raton Resort & Club Docks

Your Fishing Charter Includes: License | Tackle | Bait | 1/2 Day of Fun!

This is your opportunity to experience and enjoy the best fishing off the Southeastern Florida coast. All of our tournament sport fishing boards are well equipped and include a licensed Captain and mate to assist.

The boats range in length from 45 – 60 ft.

Our group will depart from the Resort’s docks directly adjacent to the Hotel outside of the Palm Court promptly at 7:45 a.m., Thursday, October 3, and return to the Resort at 12:00 p.m. There will be plenty of time for fishing as it is only 15 – 20 minutes before lines are in the water with the Gulf Stream being so close to shore.

Tournament boats are limited, so to ensure your participation, we strongly suggest that you reserve your reel today!

Anglers will compete for prizes including the largest fish caught, the most fish and the most unusual!

CLINICAL PITFALLS

OOPS! THAT DIDN’T PAN OUT: PITFALLS IN THE INTERPRETATION OF CYTOLOGY SAMPLES

- DR. MICHAEL SCHAER

WHAT WENT RIGHT AND WHAT WENT WRONG

- DR. CYNTHIA WARD

- DR. RICK ALLEMAN

As hard as we try to practice excellent medicine, clinical pitfalls await us all. Some of these are preemptive and hit hard without warning; others send us signals that we might not see.

$35 Sponsored by

The accurate interpretation of a cytology prep requires some level of cytology experience, but begins with good sample collection, slide preparation and proper staining.

Even with these in place certain situations can and will lead to erroneous interpretation involving a mass on your patient. This session will be an interactive discussion, using clinical cases that illustrate various cytological pitfalls with a view to avoiding them in the future.

In this interactive discussion, complicated internal medicine cases will be presented. Did we do the right thing? Could we have provided better diagnostic or management options for the patient. It is hoped that a lively discussion will ensue from the case presentations.
