You go gal! Nothing farfetched in your concern. Closest personal experience I have had with a baby kidnapping was when it occurred in a small town adjacent to a small city I once practiced in....in retrospect, very preventable, just took that incident to demonstrate that the unlikely, unthinkable, improbable event could - and did in fact - occur. Fortunately recovery within a few days, without infant harm, though I suspect parental angst still nagged Mom and Dad for who knows how long afterwards.

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.
