Yes, two menstrual cycles then a blood clot and removal of the organ. And the point is? Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you necessarily SHOULD, IMHO. FWIW I feel the same about the "face transplant" done in France.

Just my two cents.

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.
