I believe it was yesterday's NYT -- unfortunately I do not and can not at this moment do that gear shifting - like Joe maybe I would have done the same. I have a friend - Larry Fleisher - dermatologist -- who since the begining of time hasn't accepted ANY kind of insurance plan -- he lives pretty well--no problems-- he can't imagine himself explaining -- trying to justify to someone who is not a physician a procedure or whatever he has done to one of HIS patients!!!

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.
