I've never met a more eccentric group of weirdos (awkward weirdos. Not interesting weirdos.) than those two. The neurologists we worked with in the Neuro ICU were usually pretty cool, the kind you could easily chat with at a cocktail party or by the soiled linen chute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-86975557326274489612020-09-28T14:09:09.046-04:002020-09-28T14:09:09.046-04:00Now I want to move to Nebraska...Now I want to move to Nebraska...Slowly Silveringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03590173418317979935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-35675182157536623822020-09-28T13:57:10.737-04:002020-09-28T13:57:10.737-04:00Well, a lot of us would write Dr. G a FAAN letter....Well, a lot of us would write Dr. G a FAAN letter.

They get to put FAAN in their signature, as in “Ibee Grumpy, M.D., FAAN”. The more letters you have, the more impressive you must be. To get the FAAN honor, you have to do something like attend at least 4 annual meetings and have some other FAAN write a letter of recommendation. I know a few neurologists who always sign with that pseudo-distinguished accreditation and they’re mostly people whose academic careers stalled mid-track.
