Joe P. did a pretty good job of describing how the horses are treated. He forgot to mention that the horses are kept in stalls that barely let them lay down. They are hooked up to a urine collection apparatus 24 hours a day. Their water intake is kept minimal so that their urine is concentrated.

There are other forms of estrogen that work just as well. No animal should be treated like these horses are. I understand that in some places they are making some improvements....but these are minimal. (I am not an animal rights activist...just someone who cares about animals).

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.
