I sort of felt like I was being pigeonholed as a head-in-the-sand fundie, when my objections aren't religious. I have stairstepped children from 11 down to #6 due in April. It was only by blind luck that we avoided the rotavirus vaccine-I had no kids in the target age range during the short time it was out. Sometimes we are just too quick to jump on the newest miracle. Okay, so since we're at it, and not all of us have kids in the right age groups now (or yet or whatever), let's make a list of stuff we do to our "children" and why (and by "children" I mean any kid who's young enough to be "in our power," so that means probably up to age 18): 1) MMR, DPT, Polio, Varicella vaccines -- for "childhood" diseases and other epidemics 2) Hepatitis B vaccine -- for sexually transmitted illness (?) 3) Gardasil (HPV vaccine) -- for sexually transmitted viral illness --> cervical cancer 4) Meningicoccal vaccine -- for college aged kids/military (?) 5) Influenza -- particularly for susceptible individuals for "flu" 6) OCPs (including "morning after" pills) -- for pregnancy 7) abortion -- for pregnancy 8) Rotavirus -- who gets that? 9) antibiotics -- GC, Syphilis, Chlamydia 10) what am I missing? Y'all fill in some more. Any comments? Additions? Conclusory statements without factual rationale? LOL 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.
