nope. Not alone.

What I love is when they have blocked their line....so in order to call them, you need to call from an unblocked number or go through the answering service. They get *my* number on their caller ID and just call me back directly. Or you call them back within nanoseconds of getting paged and get their answering machine....again, they've got my number on caller id and call back on my home line when it's convenient for them.

The other night I got a page at 4:20am..... primip, term. "I think I might be starting labor. I don't want to go to the hospital. I want to stay home as long as possible, but I'm just calling to 'put you on notice' that I might be calling later wanting to go to the hospital."

4:20am.

She calls to 'put me on notice'. Does she think I do my hair or nails before I go to the labor floor?

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.
