Additionally, what does that say about the plethora of Fetal Foto labs insonating fetuses soley for amusement. Shortly after Roentgen's discovery of X-rays, Fluoroscopy was similarly used for amusement. I feel this article should alert the public that exposing the human fetus to any energy source simply for their own amusement may be hazardous to more than just the parents' wallet. Of course that's just my opinion - I could be wrong.

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.
