Another year, another NSM. What is there to say? Even though, some on here prefer to keep it negative, I will start with a positive. Yes, I will give credit to Bracco for always making these meetings low stress and relatively fun. The half day free on Wednesday's is appreciated. That's about it for the positives. So lets just dive right into what everybody has on their minds: the meeting, Lumason, Vueway, and everything else.
After a week to decompress and dwell on the ever-changing tactics at Bracco, I have a few thoughts. First, can we do away with the silly polls at these breakouts? Whatever application you continue to use, it never works right, so lets just give this thing the delete file. Second (and no pun intended), the $2 bills? You boys do realize that we have seen $2 bills before? Every bank has them. Who came up with this, seriously? OMG, I just got $10 whole dollars in $2 increments. Thank you, Bracco! BTW, what did those first 10 Vueway PO reps get? Please tell me it was a Starbucks card!
Ok, onto bigger things. The rumor mill seems quite the buzz with Lumason. Hearing of some major hospital systems dropping it due to serious AE's and deaths. I don't want to create a panic, but can anyone confirm this? If we have an issue, we need to know. Not sure how to grow this line if this is true and word spreads.
Also hearing that Vueway may not be the dog some predicted, and imaging is initially good. But we all know it comes down to price. Lets give this 6 months and then discuss more.
What was with Renaissance? Can we not have more than 2 bars the whole night? What does someone have to do to get a drink around here? Congrats to the winners. Enjoy the Great White North. Hear that area is incredibly beautiful. Oh, and ladies, a tip here; please ask someone who's not a brown noser (difficult here, I know) if a dress looks good on you before showing up. The colors and outfits on a few were less than flattering. Green is not a good look on anyone, right? Oh, and boys, pants that are hemmed half way up your ankle make you look like you should be in the Little Rascals. Nice pants, Alfalfa!.... Pay for the extra 3 inches of fabric, please! You got $10 in two's. Make it useful.
Oh, does anyone think moving Isovue to CS will go smoothly, if it even happens?... Me either.
IC plan: Womp womp....
