O. The Snowdrift Pulmonary Conference

A small group of pulmonologists and their colleagues from industry comprise the Snowdrift Pulmonary Conference. We meet once a year to exchange our experiences and philosophies about the care of our patients, who suffer from a variety of pulmonary disorders.

During the Conference, we voice our beliefs and our disagreements with equal fervor. Always, we indulge in a spiritual feeling of great friendship.

We hope that our words of advice and occasional wisdom will be appreciated by all who read them. We offer them to you in a spirit of fellowship and love for our patients.

On Wisdom:

A sadder and wiser man
He rose the morrow morn

S.T. Coleridge, The Ancient Mariner

On Snowdrift:

If winter comes, can
Spring be far behind

Shelley, Ode to the West Wind
