Listening to CBC radio's World Report this morning, I picked up a story about how doctors across the country are now getting together to discuss patients and share their thoughts concerning treatments.

"Hospital rounds are going hi-tech. For the first time, doctors in different parts of Canada are using conference calls and the internet to treat patients through "virtual rounds". Brooks DeCillia reports." (From the last story o­n their summary sheet)

You can listen to the entire short story that includes some actual taped discussions between doctors in RealOne Audio by clicking here and scrolling to the last story (at 10:25 of the 12:30 report).

Once again, the New Years Feast was held at Deer Lake United Church, everyone was invited to attend the yearly gathering.

Also the Family Feasts were held o­n the same day, pictures were taken, for more information go to www.deerlake.firstnation.ca

K-Net staff want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and thank you for making K-Net your o­n-line communication resource.

K-Net servers have received 6.8 million hits in December for the second month in a row! Check out the stats for each of the present seven o­n-line services at http://tech.knet.ca/~tech/monitoring/webalizer

It was a busy month for individual K-Net users who are developing their own individual web sites using http://myknet.org - MyKnet.org actually overtook the main K-Net web server for the first time as the busiest o­n-line service for this past month.

Each myknet.org user is given a maximum of 5M of space to post pictures and share their thoughts. Everyone is developing new o­n-line skills with many sites demonstrating some advanced features. Peer-to-peer sharing of scripts and presentations seems to be the best method for developing these skills.

All myknet.org users are asked to respect the variety of ages who use this service by avoiding inappropriate content and language. There are times when individual sites are temporarily taken down until they are changed by the user. All the users are asked to help us identify any inappropriate web sites and content.

We look forward to serving everyone in 2003 who is helping make these o­n-line services a valuable communication resource for the First Nations across the region. Please share your ideas and suggestions with any K-Net staff member or by sending an e-mail to suggestions@knet.ca
