As of right now, we have procured Peaks Auditorium at Bangor High School, so it should be a fabulous evening, and best of all YOU are all invited! One more bit of information. It was brought to my attention that our bass drum was heavy and hard to play in a long parade. We just purchased a new drum that is 8 lbs lighter than the old one. That doesn’t sound like much, but the old drum was 25 lbs compared to 17 for the new one. Team Smith (Ernie and his son Tony) went to Massachusetts Monday to pick it up. It sounds great and it is easier to carry. I made the motion to buy a light bass and we voted on it in 2008. The re- sult was a new bass that was as heavy as the old one. I made the motion again this spring and finally Brent, our bass drum- mer, will get the lighter bass drum that he was promised four years ago. Finally in closing, I was inspired when I saw a copy of our Declaration of Inde- pendence on one of the Funsters’ Face- book page. In order to provide some background information, I would like to review Proverbs 14:34, which states, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” Proverbs 14:12 states, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” The key to the whole passage and where I’m going with the Declaration is Proverbs, 14:2, “He whose walk is upright

The Northeast Camel Caravan held its annual camping weekend at Bayley’s Camping Resort in Scarborough, Maine, on June 1-3.

Clubs. The handbook includes sections The team works together to provide follow up care to existing patients and about the vision and mission. to examine prospective patients for future care. Existing patients are monitored for how their orthopaedic condition may or may not be pro- gressing along with their normal growth and development. Patients who were recently operated on at the hospital and have returned home are also seen. Over 2,000 children are seen in outreach clinics each year.
Some of these clinics are held within ninety miles of the hospital while others are held halfway around the world. The facilities in these locations can mirror our own hospital or be a make-shift exam room in an office building with or without electricity. Seeing children and families in their own community provides the medical team with an appreciation and understanding of the environment our patients live in.
Outreach clinics are an extension of our services that take into account the hardships families face with a sick child and the costs associated with travel expenses and time off from work. Additionally, the goodwill out- reach clinics bring to the hospital, the fraternity and to the community at-large is positive and pays dividends many times what the actual clinic costs. Currently outreach clinics are conducted in New York, Maine, U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and Cyprus. The hospital will soon expand outreach clinics to include locations in Western and Central Massachusetts and other New England states.

Dr. Fuzaylov Shows Com- mitment to Shriners and International Outreach Outreach “As a professional, you cannot say no. It’s unprofessional because even if you think it’s no, the hope should die last. ‘No’ should not be in your vocabulary at all.” This is the philosophy that not only guides anesthesiologist Dr. Gennadiy Fu- zaylov’s treatment of patients at Shriners, but also his international outreach endeav- ors. Along with many medical missions around the globe, Dr. Fuzaylov traveled to the Ukraine to treat patients this past summer along with Shriners surgeon Dr. Dan Driscoll. Coming to the United States 20 years ago as a political refugee, inter- national outreach is both a personal and professional mission for Dr. Fuzaylov. Attending medical school in Uzbekistan, he was re-trained once he arrived in the United States at UMass and Children’s Hospital. Originally trained as a pediatri- cian, Dr. Fuzaylov received further train- ing as a pediatric anesthesiologist here in the United States. Since 2001, he has been a pediatric anesthesiologist at Mass General and here at Shriners. He says that his extensive educational background impacts his work greatly, giving him a perspective that enhances his approach to treating patients. Along with treating Shriners patients for 10 years, Dr. Fuzaylov has traveled around the globe on medical missions to various locations including China, South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, to both treat and educate. While patients re- ceived much needed treatment, the knowl- edge that visiting physicians possess does not translate into training for local physi- The trouble with a small town’s alcoholics is that they are not anonymous. 24 THE ANAHGRAM Continued from page 23 are interactive and illustrate to patients, tional medical outreach, Dr. Fuzaylov through pictures and further explanation founded Doctors Collaborating to Help by the Child Life Specialist staff, what Children, along with Dr. Driscoll.

He says Shriners is a “very Danforth, Maine dedicated place, where people care about what they’re doing.” Dr. Fuzaylov says that people working in burn care are special, and people who work in pediatric burn care are super special. “Just to see the suffering of burned kids and trying to establish a connection, trust, and treat- ment, they are special people and it’s amazing, everyone involved, not only as medical professionals, but as human beings.” Christmas Came Early for the Child Life Dept Shriners Hospitals for Children® - Boston received four very high-tech and trendy iPads from the Boston Firefighters Burn Foundation at last year’s Christmas in July celebration. These generously donated iPads have proven to be effective and fun tools that assist our patients with their recovery. “Each year Santa comes and brings presents for the children in the units and the outpatient clinic,” explained Dennis Costin, President of the Boston Firefighters Burn Foundation. “We also donate items needed to help maintain the playroom. Sometimes it is arts and crafts, compute ink, or MP3 players and some- times it is Wii games and the like,” Costin said. Senior Child Life Specialist Christen Bradbury said that the iPad was on their ‘Wish List’ and that she was absolutely thrilled when the Boston Firefighters Burn Foundation surprised them with their first iPad. Costin stated, “This year we chose gifts that would take the kids’ minds off of their procedures. The iPads and another tablet were purchased with this in mind.
