In message <9607301309.AA05182@ICSI.Net>, "Peter V. Weston, M.D." <weston@ICSI.Net> writes I've held back from replying as I'm no expert in this area at all. As no-one else has pitched in though I thought I contribute. I am fairly certain I've heard Kypros Nicholaides speak about this sort of case. I can't find a specific reference but you might contact him. He's based at King's College Hospital, London. Try: http://www.smd.kcl.ac.uk

Let us all know if you come up with something useful ! >

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.
