(Sorry for closing the issue by accident!)

Is there any way to access the pdf online? I can only find it on JAMA Network but it seems that we need a subscription to read it.

I have posted a Zoom link in Teams, but I don't know that we ever had two volunteers! Should we postpone? Volunteers needed!
