First it was "doctor" CRNA with a DNP that some get 100% online. Now AANA changes its name to "Anesthesiology." Enough is enough. AANA, stop trying to be something you're not and deliberately cause controversy. Focus on #COVID19 like the rest of us. Patients over politics.

Love this idea! Dr. Natalie Strand (Stanford Anesthesiology Visiting Professor) suggests forming a writing group with likeminded colleagues inside or outside your institution. Publish together, get promoted together! I have definitely enjoyed writing with friends near and far! #medtwitter

Thank you Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine for publishing our analysis and giving rightful attention to this important topic 🙏🏽 In this study using a national claims database, hospitals with a higher proportion of Black patients had lower rates of nerve block usage for TKA. rapm.bmj.com/content/early/…

It’s been great seeing success with treating chronic post-thoracotomy pain syndrome with ultrasound guided intercostal cryoneurolysis in our practice! cureus.com/articles/82665…

The next #regionalanesthesia #acutepain Hot Topics #webinar is next Wednesday, February 15 at 7 pm ET! We'll be covering cryoanalgesia: background and mechanisms, acute pain indications, chronic pain indications, and more. RSVP for free ➡ow.ly/oXPH50MMkkn

Once again the courts have sided in favor of the scientific community and against bullying by industry. Pacira sued the journal Anesthesiology and ASA - the suit was dismissed in 2022. Pacira filed an appeal, and that appeal has also been dismissed! asahq.org/about-asa/news…
