Re: Socrates a midwife?From: CheriCNM@aol.comWed Sep 25 18:50:25 1996
In a message dated 96-09-25 14:53:58 EDT, you write: << 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 was a metaphorical midwife, but his mother was an actual midwife. It's a matter of historical record. I will refrain from commenting further on the remarkable children of midwives in general. Cheri Van Hoover, CNM Kaiser Hospital Redwood City, CA

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.
