Her GYN should AT LEAST review the options with her, not adamantly push one procedure. That is a source of public disgruntlement with out profession - these absolute positions, regardless of what patient wants or needs. -- Rafael Haciski MD FACOG On Sep 8, 2004, at 18:08, Joanne Bulley, MD wrote: > I have a high school friend with severe dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia > who > is 49 and is pretty certain she wants a hyst - not the Balloon Ablation > her gynecologist is proposing (to the point of not being willing to > discuss a hyst).

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.
