Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Where does it come from?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable.

Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

TESTIMONIALS

CaSES has been a great at allowing Caribbean surgeons to share experiences and learn from each other and this has been especially beneficial for low resource smaller countries within the region.

Dr Charles Greenidge

I am happy to be a part of this prestigious group of surgeons who are always striving to provide the best care for their patients.

Dr Wesley Francis

To me, CaSES means advancement for Caribbean surgery so that even in a 'country' hospital like Percy Junor Hospital in Jamaica a patient may get appendectomy, hernia repair, colectomy, tubal ligation, cholecystectomy or even hysterectomy done laparoscopically. CaSES gives strength to surgeons in the Caribbean who want patients to have these options.

Dr. Carlos B. Wilson
