The point of my e-mail was to illustrate the insult to our intelligence it is to propose a program of tort reform, comforted in the knowledge that it will never pass the Democrat obstructionists in the Senate, when in the past there was not so much as an inking that reform was needed but alas, even blocked.

It is one thing to support nationalized health care and vote accordingly, it is another to buy into disingenuous campaign rhetoric. I appreciate your and Ms. Hoover's frustration with the present state of Medicine. In retrospect it may have been a planned. We were regulated out of existence and that is one way to get a nationalized program of health care. The changes you suggest, should that come to pass, may in some form become fact. Other changes that you have not mentioned, not so friendly either to physicians or patients, as we have witnessed in Canada, (and I believe the French surgeons are even going on strike in the next week and visiting England to protest salary issues) may eventuate.

This is an important dialogue for all of us to take part in. It is the future of our profession.

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.
