Ashley Hill, MD: "Re: Bartholin's" In reply to: D. Ashley Hill, MD: "Re: Bartholin's" Ashley, Thanks for your note. I have been involved with two women who had Bartholin's Ad-Ca. One had been diagnosed at 50-something and I saw her at UofMich for follow up that was being done. The other was the mother of a patient of mine who I saw acutely as an urgent add in as she was moving out of state - for what looked more like a boil (and positioned a bit off) than a Bartholins. I had said (since there wasn't time for doing anything else) that she should do warm soaks and see somone promptly where she was moving if it didn't go away completely over a week to 10 days. So ... turns out she did NOT do that and when she finally saw somone - they took her to the OR and diagnosed the problem. Joanne At Fri, 26 Sep 2003, D.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
