Joe:

I have often thought exactly that, and agree. Those of us who have realized it (that the body is forgiving, especially with healthy, young women and pregnancy) are better off for it, I think.

I've often told L and D nurses lamenting about Dr. so and so doing this and that the exact same thing. . .

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.
