Ok folks, here is a summary of events from Saturday at the NASCAR Truck race. We started the screenings at about 0830 and things went very well. It was a little cool at first but after the sun warmed up it was a very nice day. The most disappointing part of the day was some responses or excuses from people declining the free exam. A few were even vulgar about it. I hope these people remember how funny they thought they were if they ever have symptoms of this disease. I have not recieved any information on how many we did but I can tell you it was a complete success. We had a fairly large tent with 5 exam areas which were almost always full and people waiting in a seating area we set up. The docs from Emory were in the pits on Friday checking the drivers and pit crews which is referenced in the NASCAR and H/N screening thread. Bobby Hamilton Sr's widow came by and for those of you who don't follow NASCAR, her late husband, a driver, died from h/n cancer. All in all I had a good time and saw a lot of people, some more aware of this disease than before they arrived, others who didn't care. Well lets hope they are as lucky as they think they are.
