Now, one shouldn't be too critical of the mess, Betsy. One of my nursing instructors (known for her remarkable physical assessment skills) diagnosed her husband's diabetes by the sticky areas on the floor around the toilet. She noticed that the ants kept coming in, attracted by his mess, and realized he was spilling sugar. She informed him that he had diabetes and that he had to go in and get tested. He was in deep denial and resisted valiantly, but to no avail. Unfortunately, she was too late. She told us that 2 months after she got him diagnosed she came home one day to find him dead of a heart attack on the kitchen floor.

I loved this instructor. She was a tiny gray-haired woman who drove a giant red Corvette. She could barely see over the steering wheel. She grinned all the time. Even when telling the heart attack story.

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.
