I'd probably see her ... tell her about how really expensive the hormone tests are - and that I follow how the patient is doing and not what the lab is saying (while the lab is making big bucks) .... Also I'd probably educate her that we can give bioidentical (17 beta estradiol and progesterone) therapy for surgical menopause without going through these shenanagans.

So ... No to #1 and Yes to #2.

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty nor security." -- Benjamin Franklin

"Naturally the common people don't want war...neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." -- Goering at the Nuremberg Trials

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.
