Fri: Chinese LaundryFrom: Braun, R. Daniel (rbraun@iupui.edu)Fri Mar 19 04:57:54 2004
Walking through San Francisco's Chinatown, a tourist from the Midwest was fascinated with all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs, and banners. He turned a corner and saw a building with the sign, "Moshe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry." "Moshe Plotnik?" he wondered. "How does that fit in Chinatown?" He walked into the shop and saw a fairly standard looking Chinese laundry. He could see the proprietors were clearly aware of the uniqueness of the name as there were baseball hats, T-shirts and coffee mugs sporting the logo, "Moshe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry." There was also a fair selection of Chinatown souvenirs, indicating that the name alone had brought many tourists into the shop. The tourist selected a coffee cup as a conversation piece to take back to his office. Behind the counter was a smiling old Chinese gentleman who thanked him for the purchase. The tourist asked, "Can you tell me how this place got a name like 'Moshe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry?'" The old man answered, "Oh, everybody asks me that. It's the name of the owner." Looking around, the tourist asked, "Is he here now?" "He is right here," replied the old man. "He is me." "Really? You're Chinese. How did you ever get a name like 'Moshe Plotnik?'" "It is simple," said the old man. "Many, many years ago when I came to this country, I was standing in line at the documentation center. The man in front of me was a Jewish gentleman from Poland. The lady at the counter looked at him and said, "What is your name?" He said, "Moshe Plotnik." Then she looked at me and said, "What is your name?" I said, "Sam Ting."

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.
