I have no objection to your conclusion, but the reasoning leaves something to be desired. Do you encourage your new mothers to eat the placenta? Lick the baby clean? Push the new baby to walk within minutes or hours?

Irrationality, like buried chemical waste, sooner or later must seep into the tissues of thought."

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.
