Re: Alternative medicine commentaryFrom: Ealgail@aol.comTue Sep 19 08:12:27 2000
I think it is simpler than that. Alternative medicine methods for some of my patients seems to be a phase they go through in their thinking, as individuals, often generated by frustration with the slowness and bureaucracy of our medical system. The problem is there are many many people going through this phase at any given time; hence, the economic drive. When individuals find the alternatives not working, or too costly for the benefit derived, many of them return to reason and look for solutions that work, which is usually the old standbys like perscription medication and physician advice. In the 60's I went through lots of phases, like being a vegetarian (which I still lean towards; but lightened up on the rigidity), wearing no underwear (which became uncomfortable), believing some rather outlandish (in retrospect) social and political mantras, and looking at everything in black and white terms. Lots of stuff, we just grow out of, even if it takes until we are 60 years old or so.

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.
