Well, I've LONG felt that U/S was basically a "physical exam" of the fetus. I don't see why that's such a mystery. You look -- you see.

Of course, the devil's advocate position is, remember that U/S is not "vision." It's computer interpretation of reflections of sound waves through a complex biological organism. (That's way kewel in and of itself!)

But I always liked U/S much better than I liked looking at little kids with runny noses and dirty diapers and maybe crackly lungs. Smelling U/S jelly is a lot nicer than ... well, you know.

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.
