Thanks, John. I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to say anything for fear Bob would shoot me.

Just for the record, we have a .22 rifle and and 12 gauge shotgun in this house, given to my husband by his father, which means that both are probably about 50 years old. They are both registered under the new gun law. The last thing we shot with the .22 was a 30 pound coon (posthumously named Rasputin) who was laying waste to the compost bin everynight. (Those who know their Russian hx will understand the reference). Because we have always lived rurally, and because rabies is a perpetual problem in these parts, it's always been good to know we could kill suspicious-acting animals.

The shotgun hasn't been fired in probably 20 years. The rifle less than 6 times in the years we've been here. Just a perspective.

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.
