So just looking at the BIG picture (and trying hard not to laugh), I see that a woman tries to use "natural" methods to induce labor, from a massage therapist, no less, and winds up with a cesarean section and a meconium stained baby.

SURELY (and I don't mean Shirley) thou hast to see the immense dose of irony that God hath administered here.

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.
