LOL Interesting partial quote. On caveat - beware of posting things like this where people who have nothing better to do can read them.

Ahem . . . .

The context of that quote from Genesis follows (Catholic translation, but it should be fairly uniform):

Genesis 35:16 Then they departed from Bethel; but while they still had some distance to go on the way to Ephrath, Rachel began to be in labor and to suffer great distress. 17 When her pangs were most severe, her midwife said to her, "Have no fear! This time, too, you have a son." 18 With her last breath--for she was at the point of death-she called him Ben-oni; his father, however, named him Benjamin. 19 Thus Rachel died; and she was buried on the road to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 Jacob set up a memorial stone on her grave, and the same monument marks Rachel's grave to this day.

So what we learn from the complete text is - when you deliver with a midwife, you don't survive. But you get a nice monument.

But then, that WAS thousands of years ago, right? A

I've used a partial quote myself as an inside joke. hehe

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.
