It's neither! Anyone really interested could go to the web page I gave for the derivation of the term. Snip> The term 'catgut' is derived from a medieval musical instrument, the 'kit', from which early surgeons took their suture material. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin D.

I'm told that "cat" is from "kid" i.e.goat (Germanic type language?) I do not know this for a fact, just something that I heard.

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.
