Miss Papangelis, a health sciences librarian who got carpal tunnel syndrome at work, will relate her experience with the syndrome and how hers was one of the 25 percent of cases that go away without surgery. She will explain that by a combination of using wrist and mouse support pads provided by her employer and wearing a wrist brace at night, she got her carpal tunnel syndrome to go away, even though she was supposed to wear the wrist brace every night, and only wore it once in a while. Then, she will give general patient education (pamphlet) information about the syndrome, and teach its prevention. As librarians we use the computer more and more with each passing year; it will not do if we all start developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Finally, Miss Papangelis will invite participation from audience members, particularly those who have or have had carpal tunnel syndrome.
