I also wonder why they only took a coupla shirts and a toothbrush. My brother and his family left Metairie on saturday before the storm driving a car and a van completely packed with necessities, planning for the possibility of being gone for weeks. They were correct. They're still in Baton Rouge, and the boys have a new school. -- Anna L.

I can't see HOW a person in New Orleans, and one with a two story home, at that, "did not know that" a major hurricane was heading for the city. Geeze! That's incredible.

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.
