Anyone know anything about the annual American Pain Society meeting? Worth attending?? Any thoughts are appreciated....

If you want basic science from some of the best rat doctors in the country, psychology studies, and physical therapy studies, the APS is an excellent meeting. There is usually a dearth of interventional pain that for years was largely ignored or excluded by the APS. Their board of directors and committee chairs are composed of primarily non-physicians so predictably the APS slant on pain not from our standpoint. Sometimes that is not a bad thing....even crazy people and rats need love too.
