Well, heeding your advice I called him. I'm here to inform you that the horse is an ass. "I don't treat based on exposure. If there are no symptoms, then it is not bothering my patient, so I have no reason to treat." And this guy is only about 40 years old. I'm not trying to get into an age war, but I would think someone trained near the cusp of evidence based medicine would be slightly more progressive.

Possibly one of the most cogent points of this entire thread. It could very well be that her partner is being less than completely honest with her. You need to hear it from 'the horse's' (or if it is true, the Jackass's) own mouth.

I find this really hard to believe, did you contact that physician and confirm that he really said this?

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.
