I bet the pathology report didn't state any specific diagnosis or pathology. These come back as "normal myometrium, cervix ... blah blah." Your argument goes to my point. It is an "a priori" fact, IMO.

This is a particular peeve of mine right now as I've had a couple 200+ gram uteri come out with no pathologic diagnosis listed and these will be on my case list :) They also fall out on our surgery quality assurance indicators - "c/s for fibroids with none on pathology report...."

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.
