Depose her. Obtain sworn statements from all witnesses. Lay a perjury charge. Let simmer, stirring occasionally. Once convicted sue her for 75 Million US for "potential post traumatic stress problems".

That'll teach her to abstain.

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.
