The more I practice, the more profound that simple statement is. A couple of weeks ago, when whining on the list, I mentioned a failed home birth who couldn't push out an 11 pound, 10 ounce baby over 4 hours. She delivered at the hospital after pushing with help and an episiotomy. On arrival, it didn't look right, either. My point is that things that are outside of our normal boxes, that don't make horse sense, or that rub us the wrong way probably represent problems. Sometimes we lose sight of the forrest because of the trees. Garry

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.
