Very true, though I'm not sure that the excess mortality involves only the parous women. I 'bout strangled my 19-year-old son this week. He's failing three of his college courses at the mid-term. My gorgeous 17-year-old daughter is currently the least of my worries. My ex-teenager (22 y.o.) who totalled three cars in 4 accidents in his younger years is now driving a bus for his campus bus service.

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.
