Greetings ASIPPians,

Today’s episode is from the Oquendo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Last November we had an interventional training camp where Frank Falco, MD jumped in with Steve Adleman, MD and enthusiastic participants to learn more about advanced spinal procedures. In particular, percutaneous discectomy. Frank and Steve are experts. I also interviewed Dr. Doug Beal, MD. He is an interventional radiologist and I was wholly impressed with his station. It was fascinating listening to his demonstration of advanced techniques to block pain production in the knee and hip. Frances Riegler, MD will be sorely missed when he retires and we appreciate his service with ASIPP over the years. He gives us a brief overview of the upcoming annual meeting. Maya Raj Andreadis and the leaders of Pain Cast were there documenting these procedures and finding interviews as well. It was a very successful cadaver course. Each one ASIPP brings forward is better and better. Any opportunity that folks can go and learn these new procedures and techniques will come away saying “wow I’m glad I did that.” Enjoy this podcast. I look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting and future gatherings.
