thanks Anna. I knew it was not Multiple Personality, but didn't know what.

How do you go about committing someone who won't go to the hospital? That is the problem. Even though we have sat down with her husband, he doesn't always agree to take her to the hospital....in fact, has only taken her once.

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.
