> The Legal Intelligencer That's supposed to be an up-and-coming trend -- holding lawyers to standards (which are in some part already in place but people have tended to look the other way) and also to the ethical standards which are almost uniformly adopted by not uniformly applied. Some feel that it's the same as in medicine: In law, the "rules" are applied to the small and independent practitioner, but not to the members of large, successful (read here "they donate to the various judges's and politicians's reelection campaign") firms (often defense firms), just as in medicine, the "good ole boys" who are "in" with the hospital administration and own part of the clinic and are officers on the board are not held to the same standards (i.e. not hauled up before the credentials committee or reported to the state board) as independent doctors who might be labelled "disruptive" when they use novel or controversial therapies (e.g. LAVH in its infancy, HUAM, minimally invasive whatever, MTX therapy, etc.) (which, by the way, may make them more competitive - read here "they're stealing our patients by usin' that new-fangled stuff, so we gotta do sum'n 'bout it" - than the guys in the big groups). Any of you lawyers and lawyers-to-be get a feel for this in other states? My 0.02 Euros.... Joe P. P.S. Those of you on the "continent," or the "Old Country," what are the fractions of a Euro called? I haven't been there lately.

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.
