[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

I have established a BBS here in Rochester, N.Y. in the hopes of 
catering to the medical community.  My wife and I are both medical 
professionals (she is an Occupational Therapist and I am a Physicians 
Assistant).  We both get all the "trade magazines" and I found several 
articles in one of hers (O.T. Week, June 21, 1990 Vol.4, No.24).  It 
was devoted to spinal cord injuries.  Articles included 
rehabilitation, statistics, prevention, careers and recreation.  I am 
not sure of "O.T. Week's" willingness to distribute to 
non-occupational therapists however if anyone wishes to give it a try 
the address is;

         O.T. Week
         1383 Piccard Drive
