If you're talking about the cytotec website, all that this attorney would need to do is show ONE case of whatever malady associated with the use of cytotec to get himself off the hook. He certainly wouldn't have to show scientific causation. So it would be worthless (and probably expensive) for the manufacturer to try to sue for "defamation per se" for statements on the cytotec website. Joe P. That's just my opinion. If you want to hear it officially, consult an attorney in your state (and pay him money).

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.
