But then I must confess I haven't got a better idea. I also disagree with you that the way the CDC counts, matters. What *DOES* matter are the reasons why so many women die in childbirth in the country where 105% of all inhabitants have health insurance. So, all in all we agree 100% percent :-)-O Hankybaby, for us dyslexic suckers, Thunderbird 1.5 has an integrated spelling checker. Cool, out of the box it even doesn't know its own name :-)-O. greetings, el on 2/9/06 6:20 PM Ina May Gaskin said the following: > Sue, the quilt exists because the CDC (not really their fault) does such > a lousy job counting maternal deaths.

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.
