I just wanted to report what I observed last week as an encouraging sign regarding OC awareness month. I had my 6 month Trismus/ORN checkup last Friday here in Atlanta at Emory Univ. Hospital Clinic Oral Surgery Dept. I arrived for my 1:30 appt. and there was pretty much standing room only in the waiting area which has seating for about 35 to 40 people. The clerk behind the window asked if I was there for the oral screening and at first didn't know what she meant. I then advised that I was a regular patient there for my checkup appt. Later, in talking with my Oral Surgeon he advised that the dept. was giving free oral screenings that week, etc. He also said that the project had drawn huge crowds all week which was quite encouraging!
