Note: The reason that I have only outlined 5 slides is because a lot of the information simply wont be able to fit on the slide. I tried my best to condense the information in a way that grasps the general idea of what we are trying to say, but obviously not all the information is there. If we do want a title slide we would have to work with 7 slides to put information on so keep this in mind. If we dont have a title slide this means more space for information. From what we have now the treatment slide and the definition/symptom slide are looking like they will have to either be cut down or cut into two slides. This means we would be up to a total of 7 slides with one left over that could be used for more information or a title slide. I would appreciate it if everyone could review this and if I missed anything let me know.
