Toxic shock syndrome is pretty much bacteria specific and the tampons nowadays are made differently (and we know not to leave them in ad infinitum). So I would think that whoever gave her that advice was being, how shall I say it,

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.
