A display at the recent ACEP meeting that 911DOC takes exception to:
Hey ACEP. I’m done. No more dues for you. When you open your convention with a Media personality who cites the Veteran’s Administration Health System as a glittering jewel of what can be achieved if we would only get ourselves on board with socialized medicine, when you create rules that take 5 minutes out of every lecture so the speaker can disclose any financial relationships they might have with ‘evil’ drug companies, and when my dues go to support such nonsense rather than advancing and protecting the agenda of the majority of the physicians in the college, well, you guys really are just a bunch of pointy-headed academics operating in your own vacuum.

Very similar to my feelings about the American Academy of Pediatrics – as I ponder paying dues (yet again) in return for a whole lot of nothing.
Probably a surprise to nobody that I liked the opening speaker a lot. I was surprised, though, that they chose such an openly political — and partisan — opening speaker. Maybe the Board was trying to send a message about their priorities for 2008.
Actually a bit surprising because NEMPAC gives about 70% of its money to republicans and its 2006 goal was to get to 60 Republican Senators. Times change.
