Most of us agree that it's ludicrous to expect that a "caregiver" HAS TO BE (or have been) in exactly the same position as the patient/client to be able to care for them. My wife's oncologist is a great oncologist and does a wonderful job, but HE'S never had cancer. There you go. But the question at hand for the jury, I mean the list, is this: IS IT IN SE "UNREASONABLE" FOR A PATIENT/CLIENT TO PREFER A CAREGIVER OF ONE SEX OR THE OTHER, OR IS THAT A REASONABLE PREFERENCE IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF MODERN HUMAN BEHAVIOR NOW? Let's vote on that SPECIFIC question, not various and sundry tangential matters. Reasonable to desire a particular sexed "caregiver" or unreasonable? Joe P.

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.
