Originally there in support of a client, I reviewed the list of faculty notables and discussion topics and I became more energized in anticipation of what the presenters would bring to the microphone.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The name that hooked me? Dr. Richard Penn.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Dr. Richard Penn is certainly considered one of the thought leaders in interventional pain management.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I have read <em>volumes <\/em>of his work. In fact, I&#8217;d been waiting fourteen years to meet this neurosurgeon&#8221;\u00a6face to face&#8221;\u00a6so that I could tell him what a profound difference he&#8217;s made in my professional life and practice.\u00a0 And that was just the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0I&#8217;ve attended a lot of meetings over the course of my life. Many of them, particularly in the early days, were CE gatherings &#8220;\u201c obligatory attendance affairs where you didn&#8217;t have to get excited about the subject matter, you simply needed to attend\u00a0 for the purpose of professional licensure. \u00a0These days, I tend to look more closely at the meetings that spark and feed my curiosity &#8220;\u201c not always providing CE credits, but always providing valuable information.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0This was such a meeting. A fascinating examination of conventional drug therapies as well as those new or current or imagined. Topics ranging from the <strong>History of Intrathecal Drug Therapy<\/strong> to <strong>Administering Pharmaceuticals for the Conditions of Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Gliomas, and Huntingtin Disease<\/strong>.\u00a0 Discussions of infusions and treatments, the adoption of which may indeed be as distant as ten years away, yet some so unique that you applauded the researcher for their intellectual convictions and courage.\u00a0 A look at convection enhanced studies&#8221;\u00a6and convection delivery&#8221;\u00a6and much more &#8220;\u201cso much more that I couldn&#8217;t possibly do it justice in a single blog entry.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0So expect more following this introduction &#8220;\u201c more on the meeting itself and definitely more on the specific topics covered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfI attended a meeting recently &#8220;\u201c The Future of Intrathecal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
