However, one was by hanging, I think. So that doesn't fit in this scenario. The other might have been via medications, but I'm not sure. And no study is complete without factoring in listening to country music. I think that's highly correlated with suicide (just has listening to "hip-hop" is correlated with homicide).

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.
