I was looking at this video and found it interesting that the ASA president called out this forum:

I hope the new ASA leadership is more supportive of SDN.

JESUS H. CHRIST.

That video was confirmation that ALOTTA ACADEMIC DUDES ARE NOT CONNECTED WITH THE REAL WORLD....OUT HERE..WITH ANESTHESIOLOGISTS.

"Dear American Society of Anesthesiologists Head Dude, please represent our profession by discouraging intruding groups, by encouraging insurance companies to pay us well, by encouraging TORT REFORM.

PUH LEASE

don't waste your time worrying about posts on SDN.

WE, med students/residents/attendings are here on SDN, yes.

Bonding.

Venting.

Educating.

Advising.

Laughing.

Weeping.

YOU'VE GOT MORE IMPORTANT S H IT TO HANDLE, DUDE. LIKE THE NURSES THAT WANNA BE CALLED 'DOCTOR" IN THE HOSPITAL. LIKE MEDICARE PAYING ME SEVEN HUNDRED BUCKS FOR A CABG WHEN I CAN MAKE FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS ON A TWENTY MINUTE, INSURANCE TOTING FESS, WHICH MEANS I, JET, COULD DO FESS'es ALL DAY LONG AND DO VERY WELL, SANS THE 700 CABG WHICH BY THE WAY IS A MUCH LARGER CASE THAN A FESS. THOSE CABG PATIENTS, ASA HEAD DUDE, STILL NEED CARE. AT SOME POINT CLINICIANS LIKE ME ARE GONNA SAY FU C K THAT TO THE 700 dollar CABGS AND DO THE 500 dollar FESS'S. ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.

The above, Mister ASA HEAD DUDE,

is much more important than whats posted on SDN.

LEAVE US ALONE.

Concentrate your time where its productive.

To our profession as anesthesiologists.

That particular president always struck me as an ass. And I HAVE met him in person, more than once. I talked to him briefly again when he was "making the rounds" at the ASA this year. Still not impressed.👎 I like the new guy.👍

Disheartening... tell me again why I support the ASA and ASAPAC? Cause there isn't a better alternative?

LOL @ the video. Sounds like a CRNA trying to stir something up.

I regards to the ASA, I got my annual statement the other day and was pretty disappointed to see a picture of Obama on the cover. I realize that the ASA wants to work together with the administration or whatever, but honestly, I thought it was a poor choice. Certainly wasn't necessary.

Knew there was a reason I ranked this former ASA leader's program dead last.

Way to support the profession! /sarcasm

This topic is old news for those of us who have been around here a while.

Closing since there really isn't much else to say.
