What's New

WSSA leadership and staff congratulated Sheila Mickool (front row, third from left) for winning a 2011 ASA Media Award.  Mickool, author of the July 2011 Seattle Magazine article “Who’s Behind the Mask?  Turns Out, You Can Choose Your Own Anesthesiologist” was presented the award at the ASA House of Delegates in October.  The article appeared in the “Best Doctors” issue, which for the first time excluded the specialty of anesthesiology.  The WSSA Board strongly objected to this omission, which eventually led to the writing of the article.
