EDITORIAL: REUNION OF AUB ANESTHESIOLOGY AT THE ASA 2009 NEW ORLEANS

The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) President elect Alexander A. Hannenberg, M.D. considers attending the ASA Annual Meeting as being “a kid in a candy store”. There is nowhere else with the quality, quantity and variety of stimulating, relevant and useful education that the ASA meeting provides. In addition to its scientific value, there is a social aspect, too, in a gathering of thousands of individuals with a common professional interest, yet varying backgrounds. The ASA 2009 was held in the lovely city New Orleans.
