A letter that was sent out to all CRNA members. I know this is pain related, but please keep in mind that we are all doctors (don't let them divide and conquer), and the board exams make good money for the ABA and our specialty.
Dear XXXXX:
If there is a time when we need you to reach out to your elected officials in support of CRNA pain care, then that time is now!
This very week, Oct. 13-17, members of the American Society of Anesthesiologists will come to Washington, D.C., to take part in their Annual Meeting and conduct Capitol Hill visits.
Incidentally, we have learned that Congressman Paul Broun MD (R-GA) is asking his fellow members of the House of Representatives to join him in sending a "Dear Colleague" letter to the Medicare Agency in strong opposition to CRNA pain management services.
Coincidence? We don't think so either.
This set of events is happening on top of 13 members of the House Doctors Caucus and news publications making inaccurate and misleading statements about CRNA pain care over the last few weeks.
It goes without saying that we must make our voice heard -- now!
Please take the time to visit ProtectmyPainCare.com, click on the "Take Action" button, and use the tools to locate your elected official and CALL OR WRITE them and ask that THEY NOT sign on to Congressman Broun's inaccurate letter full of misleading and untrue statements.
We showed our adversaries that we are a force during the pain care public comment period. Let's remind them of that fact by contacting our elected officials - in force - and ask they support Medicare patients, their constituents and our profession by supporting CRNA pain care and opposing Rep. Broun's letter.
Sincerely,
Janice Izlar, CRNA, DNAP
President
