Once told in that fashion, most patients will come in understanding that *something* may not be right. And it isn't. But I don't want the "normals" interpreting the call that way also. Will see how others do it.

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.
