>birth. I know that from experience. My daughter was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia at age 9 after showing neuro symptoms for 4 years. There was no gene test then (1986) as there is today, so diagnosis took a long time and many, many tests. I always tell patients that we could do every test known to medicine and there still could be something wrong with their child. There are no guarantees. I just cringe when people say "we don't care what sex the baby is as long as it's OK (read, perfect). What are you going to do if it isn't - give it away? I'd give anything to have my daughter back - she died from a PE at age 24 in 2001. Barbara Orza, CNM Atlanta

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.
