Socrates a midwife? From: Peter V.

Maybe reply: T Dubose: "Re: Socrates a midwife?" The following quote is taken from the Dialogues of Plato IV where Socrates says to Theattus: "Well, my art of midwifery is in most respects like theirs: but differs, in that I attend men and not women, and I look after their souls when they are in labour and not their bodies. The triumph of my art is in thoroughly examining whether the thought which the mind of the young man brings forth is a false idol or a noble and true birth." Socrates also recommends thorough examination! Regards, Peter Cap'n Pete -- Peter V.

The day will come when I will die. So the only matter of consequence before me is what I will do with my allotted time. I can remain on shore, paralyzed with fear, or I can raise my sails and dip and soar in the breeze. Next message: John Hellriegel: "Heparin vs. Luvanox" Previous message: Peter V.

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.
