Also there ARE false postive results for virtually every test in medicine - even ultrasound, amniocentesis and everybody's gold standard - autopsy ( they still argue over JFK's). art At Sun, 30 Jan 2005, Joanne Bulley, MD wrote: > >What I hear from Art --- is that a NORMAL US does NOT mean that there >are NO birth defects.

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.
