How bout some new studies with all these pain fellowship programs lengthening their year to 18 months? Research should be mandatory to keep our field alive.

A critical review of their appraisal of the literature is just out or is forthcoming shortly. THe quality of their selection criteria as to what studies were included or excluded made their conclusions biased. But it is out there and now we'll have to fight it.

I'm thinking of doing a critical review on the need for EEG to see if we can force them to stop doing these often unnecessary diagnostic tests that cost the healthcare system millions......
