Bad Behavior at Medical Conferences Prompts New Rules

Speaker podiums and tables reserved for moderators had new paperwork waiting for delegates attending the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Annual Meeting this year as leaders announced changes.

I will say that the conferences have gotten much, much tamer since the early aughts. @lobelsteve knows what I mean.

This is simply not consistent with the data he presented at SIS in July

There used to be knock-down, drag-out fights between speakers and SDN'ers followed by various high-risk behaviors, black-out drinking, and various chemically enhanced activities. It made for great stories but very cringy depositions and divorce proceedings.

There is a reason why the KOLs all have pointy (perhaps steel tipped) shoes

There is a doc on this board who mostly lurks. What a magical evening in Chicago. Dueling piano bar, bachelorette party, getting kicked out of the bar, throwing up in the taxi, throwing up in the hotel. I spent the night awake to make sure he did not aspirate and die on his vomitus.
Ahh, the good old days. And yes I have pictures.

In my defense, we had dinner at a Cuban/Sushi fusion restaurant that set me up for the whole evening.

Steve was an amazing fellowship director/instructor . . . and apparently a pretty good babysitter as well.

Translation, had some rum and cokes, a few mojitos, then sake bombs to start the night... Totally the restaurant's fault though

Poor Markus had to go along for the ride all night.
I forgot about that sushi place. A few blocks off the Mile, 2 story restaurant/bar.
