Fire up your Insta account cuz it's time to get your Canadian Bacon on! Or, if you're not into pork, some of the best Lox you'll ever find!

Sharpen your shoes because you will not want to miss this conference: More KOLs, pain surgeons, Super Partners, Ballers, and injectionoloigsts per square foot than ASPN, PSPS, and NANS combined. You'll be elbow to elbow and bumping & grinding with hospitality device reps from all corners of the industry. The whisky is strong (well, technically Rye), the expense accounts are open, and you're the show's star. Forward event planners your favorite "walk-on" music and enjoy all the legal protections of Sovereign Jurisdiction at the closest international pain conference you'll find--"What happens in the 'couve stays in the 'couve."

Up to the second scientific update on all things cluneal, vertebrogenic, discogenic, and regenerative. Don't miss out on the hallway chatter. They'll be more deals struck here than Modic changes on a 42-year-old's lumbar MRI.

@lobelsteve will be paying for shots at the bar and demonstrating super-human feats of strength

This hype man is more worthy of the prime spot in the DJ booth than any of those other 4 supposed KOLs in a recent thread.

Caption of that pic: “4 wannabes battle to earn a spot on Dr. Usso’s, ‘So you want to be a KOL.’”

Zach McCormick discussed his nine nerve paradigm for genicular RF. The main sponsors were sprint therapeutics and relievant medisystems. be surprised at how positive the talks were for these procedures.

What other nerves?

Great they are suggesting even more nerves for a procedure that barely pays anything for the time now…

I will see if i can get a slide from his deck. If there are nine nerves to target than this procedure is dead.

 

[Ligament]

You guys learn anything interesting at the conference?

 

[lobelsteve]

Best Chinese and Indian food. And Vancouver has a lot of money.
And:
Rocanini Coffee Roasters | Coffee Shop in Yaletown (Beatty St.)

Is my favorite coffee shop in all my travels. There was a pretty good one off Yale's campus as well.

I second this. A real answer would be appreciated

BVNA getting pushed hard, despite lack of any new studies.
SprintPNS getting pushed hard, despite lack of any good studies and lack of mechanism for prolonged relief.
Knee RF will require more injections to have higher success rates than anyone could do.
Hip RF targets improvng with additional data and studies. Incisura and 1/2 way between 12 o'clock and outer acetabular cup, on acetabular ridge. are current go to spots (confirms my treatment location)

Put up a pix of the fluoro targets for hip RFA.

So I guess the question is, do we have any respectable science based professional societies left?

 

[Ducttape]

SDN.

but not a society per se.

Did anybody address the elephant in the room; there is no contrast, no lidocaine, no dextrose, no saline....???

Brought up at end of lecture and not answered. Of course I did not want to say anything... 2 more boxes came in today. In my office.
At the hospital, I had 10cc compounded for a kypho. It came from a larger bottle. Had expiration 9/30, so I think they are getting 7-9 day sterility.

 

[Agast]

*ahem* respectable

 

[lobelsteve]

*ahem* respectable

Any society that would have me as a member is not worth joining.

No.

Thank god. I was worried about the functional collapse of our profession in a couple months, but feel reassured that global warming will be reduced by .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% via our ISIS recycling agenda.
