Today is Rare Diseases Day--spread the awareness

Some links:

• Rare Diseases Day (http://rarediseaseday.org)
• NORD--National Organization for Rare Disorders (http://www.rarediseases.org)
• EURORDIS - The Voice of Rare Disease Patients in Europe (http://www.eurordis.org/)

Many rare diseases have an orthopaedic involvement, so I get requests for information about rare diseases and come across articles about various syndromes. But seeing patients who live every day with these disorders is something altogether different, and I'm glad that in some small way, I can help with their care.
