Caduceus meeting in Austin Texas

Published

I stumbled onto a website called Health Line Defense and discovered that the Travis County Medical Society does have a Caduceus meeting that is for physicians primarily but is open to other health care professionals such as nurses. I am going to call on Monday to get more information about when these meetings occur. This is definitely not advertised and none of my therapists/ addiction are aware of this. Not even TPAPN. I am sure It is to protect the anonymity of its members. For those of you in other states, check with your local medical society for a local caduceus meeting. I will keep you posted as to whether this is going to be helpful.

Thanks for sending that link. I live in Austin and have been looking for something like this since 2009. I don't see where you can go to meetings though, have you gone to any?

Use caution, Caduceus meetings are not like AA meetings. They are good for networking, but keep in mind they are not AA meetings or like them in anyway. I've heard of more trouble coming to nurses that have attended them. Just my $0.02...

I have not pursued this any further due to comments made on this forum. I don't know what the downsides exactly are in reference to Caduceus meetings but I am concerned enough to just skip it.

Incorrect info. I go to that meeting and it is AA where you can share what you shouldn't at a regular meeting- job specific. Sponsor organization is International Doctors in AA

If you want to go I will sponsor you in. It is an AA meeting and the folks are wonderful. You need to be sponsored- closed restricted meeting. Place to share work AA issues.

I have always wanted a nurse/caduceus meeting in Austin, but have never found one. I have even called the BON and they do not know of any.

I loved reading your article about the Caduceus meeting in Austin Texas. I'm so glad that you posted this article! It was so interesting to learn about their meeting and that they are trying to help people who are being accused of wrongdoings in the medical field. I hope they succeed!
