Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | I went to Philly today. Arrived at 10:30 and was out at 12:15. I was number 6 and there were 4 more behind me. None were from OCF. The one lady is the head the SPOHNC group that meets at Penn Tower. She and several others were from HUP and had my same surgeon. No one had heard of the OCF web site so I gave them the info. Dumb me forgot to take the OCF cards with me.
Interview was more of a monologue and lasted about 10-15 minutes. I have no clue as to how I did or what they are looking for other than what is posted on board but I did get my pitch in for OCF and Brian. Hopefully they will take some of us from the forum.
