>>still sort of opposed to it. Is it not funny. Interestingly I
>>personally bear the expenses and distribute the journal to about 6000
>>doctors without ant material support from usually so generous
>>pharmaceutical companies. This is a very useful journal and I have
>>completely devoted myself to it. The standard is excellent and it has

>>permanently. The RCOG forum I am ashamed to say paid no heed to it
>>despite my plea to contribute to this journal. Recently I was
>>introduced to the obgyn Forum and I am impressed with the enthusiasm and
>>a feeling of espirit de corps among the professinals. I was wondering
