Well said Anna. Americans do seem to emote rather much if considered in historical context with other times, places and sociteties. El, we still have people here who emote very much in books, plays, essays and etc. over the Holacuast, and that was over fifty years ago. Maybe you're just a hard man, whether by individual psyche or by some cultural wellspring, one can never know. I suspect the former. Hope you take Anna's advice.

It's just my opinion and I could be wrong, but I really think it's one of the things that made this nation great.

And El, I'm really becoming concerned that your incredible insensitivity could be a sign of serious problems we are unaware of. Take care of yourself and get some rest.

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.
