sending films overseas

[Alastair]

Hi Chuck,
it sounds as if you have had all your stuff already scanned, they don't like your stuff to be over 2 MB if you're e-mailing it. Which means that you could actually send a number of 2 MB e-mails of course.

I'm sure you've read how to do it in the FAQs so won't bore you with the details. You could always just copy them onto a CD and send them in the post -- -- -- I'm not sure how long it takes to get from America to Germany in the post. The nice thing about the CD is that you can always make yourself a copy to take with you if anything goes astray, or if you want to send them to another doctor
Best,
Alastair

I have spoken with them in the past as well and can verify that they are very helpful and curteoous and go out of their way to help you with your questions.
Good luck to you Chuck!
If you put your films on CD you could get them FedExed I would imagine pretty quickly over there. I know it takes forever to get things in the mail unless you do Global Priority through USPS. I worked for a company in the UK and remember it took like 2 weeks for reg posts there. Priority was within a few days.
Hope this helps

What location? Bogen has some really cheap hotels compared with Munich. There's a FAQ about our trip there. I don't know much about Straubing but there's several websites for apartment or similar short-term rentals in Munich.

Chuck
I dont know if its in the FAQ's or what but if you do a search of the archived messages I know there were several posts about which hotels were nice in I think Bogen and Straubing that people had put on here in the past when asked about this.
I remember I think Alastair or Rich posting about being sure you get a hotel with air conditioning as they dont evidentally all have it automatically and it gets really hot in the summer.
I hope you find what you need and this has helped somewhat

Hi folks,
A lot of the hotel stuff in the FAQs is about Munich, because that's where I went for my surgery.

Any information about Bogen or Straubling I would welcome, so I could put that in the FAQs also. No favouritism here it is a fully rounded board. A shortcut here for Bogen FAQ

The heading of this item is "sending films overseas", and there is an excellent FAQ about how to photograph x-rays and attach them to e-mails. The big thing with this that the camera and everything else is digital, this enables the doctors to blow the x-ray to a large magnification without distortion
