I can't offer any sort of personal condolences through this medium or empathy to any of those people becuase they are not on this list. When there were earthquakes in Turkey and we had a lister from there there was the same sort of communication from this list. When the war was going on and then the peace treaty in Kosovo ... there was empathy from here. So don't go making accusations about listers because we post empathy in this situation.

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.
