Don't wait too long; or the 'pelicans' stay, in the Gulf sunset, will be 'brief'. Remember the 'steaks', less You burn them. And You're left with a Gore-y, mess like that which the High Court left hanging, with Your neighbors to the east. One part Law, TWO parts History. More pralines, less cream. The Kingfish charges "two cents a lie", and the price is going up. Anyone seen the Emperor's tailors, recently? tj

<<The U.S. Supreme Court recognized that effective psychotherapy cannot exist without the guarantee of absolute privacy. In Jaffee v Redmond (No. 95-266 [1996]), the justices rejected any balancing test to weigh the needs of private individuals or entities against the right of patients to have privacy. The court noted that it was in the best interests of the nation to have effective psychotherapy available for citizens, so they affirmed the absolute right to privacy of the communications between patient and psychotherapist by recognizing a federal therapist-patient privilege.>>

So? Then we wait a bit and then run a case toward the Supreme Court and have the law declared unconstitutional to the extent that it robs us of constitutionally-guaranteed privacy.

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.
