On the 29th of october (this post had to be postponed due to sickness) I visited the Royal Society of Medicine in London to learn about "Practical challenges in familial hypercholesterolaemia".
The day started early at 4 am, as I got up and then made my way to
Hamburg airport to take the flight to London. Arriving in time I had a
little more then an hour to get to the center where the meeting was
held.

The program was very diversified covering the detection of variants
and the treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), one of the
most common genetic diseases. Additionally I learned a lot about
treatment related side effects as well as the possible correlation of FH
and other diseases.
After the meeting I had one hour
left to make a speeding-sightseeing-tour of the city. I visited
Trafalgar Square and took a look at the famous sunflowers of van Gogh,
but I particularly liked Big Ben at night. Unfortunately my camera
(phone) was not able to capture the beauty of it (especially the face of
the watch).

In the end time flew by and I had to get back. Happy and with a lot of new information, wisdom and impressions I fell into bed at 11:30 pm. What a long and exciting day in London.
