At surgery the cannister was removed. I'm confused. Why couldn't you remove it via a simple speculum exam? Just reach in and grab it? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Woolley --------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Paul, Minnesota GIC Why does virtually everyone advocate dumping the Confederate flag? Because a parade of African-Americans protested the Stars and Bars with the slogan "Your Heritage Is Our Slavery." Well, what happens tomorrow when a parade of Native Americans protests the Stars and Stripes with the slogan, "Your Heritage Is Our Genocide"? After all, what else do those fifty stars represent but lands that were brutally taken away from the native peoples? Upon realization of this, will the call go out for a new flag for our new "multicultural" nation? (Mind you, we have to be very careful here: one man's reductio ad absurdum could become another's logical conclusion.) -- Barry Loberfeld Next message: Anna Meenan, MD: "Re: OB: OA vs. OP" Previous message: Mark Perloe: "Re: Bic Pen"

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.
