Fetal distress vs. Nonreassuring 7. Seized vs. convulsed.  The list goes on.  On Jun 23, 2008, at 9:52 AM, DoctorJoe@aol.com wrote: In a message dated 6/23/08 10:40:28 AM, rd.braun@gmail.com writes: As the dictionary says it is an ERRONEOUS word.      •     an erroneous redundancy for regardless. http://www.iolani.honolulu.hi.us/Keables/KeablesGuide/PartThree/Letters/I.htm      •     regardless; a combination of irrespective and regardless sometimes used humorously wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn      •     Irregardless is a term that has caused controversy since it first appeared in the early twentieth century.

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.
