[humanser] Greetings

[Kaiti Shelton]

I'm going to look into starting a group for medical professionals.  It
will most likely be small at this point, but that way there would be
at least something for people who wish to work in the medical setting.
Of course, that group can refer to the HS division as another possible
resource, but my hope is that questions about how to work around
things like reading monitors, accessing medical charts, dealing with
child life coordinators and other hospital-specific staff will have a
place to be answered.
