Next in thread: ainsron@msn.com: "Re: A question about lupron..." I think it was Townsend who said to do a double dose for the over 250 lb pre-endometrial ablation patient. Buy the urologic dose - like we used to before they had a gyn dose. We used to try to line up two patients so they could each get half the uro dose at the same time rather than wasting half the dose. It'll probably cost the same as the gyn dose.

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.
