AANEM Connect

It is a shame that only a small handful of members seem to use this service. If more joined in, much more could be done to get the attention of our leadership in addressing our concerns.While our organization does a superb job with education, I believe a lot more could be done helping with managing our practices. We have been given excellent suggestions for handling our practices during the Covid pandemic. However, we have not been given assistance in implementing these suggestions. We all have had difficulty obtaining PPE on an individual basis. Couldn't our organization help to find suppliers to obtain this equipment. Discounted group prices would be nice, but even help with just finding the supplies would be very helpful. It has been suggested that all our patients undergo testing for COVID-19 prior to EMG.However, it is very difficult and cumbersome to obtain testing on an individual basis. Many laboratories insist that the patient be symptomatic before testing.Couldn't our organization find a laboratory who would do this for us "on demand." As our organization grows, we should be using our buying power to assist our membership, not just now, but after things return towards " normal".
