<<A woman who smokes >1ppd if cigarettes has greater problems than amenorrhea. Forget the amenorrhea and insist that she stop smoking. I usually tell patients that if they are really worried about their health...get their priorities straight. >>

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.
