I could never lift the 200 pounds, due to the Spondylolysis, which, incidently, prevents me from playing golf. But I have been test driving the Cayenne, so I am still hopeful :-)-O

I am overweight, my bed side manner is well known to the list, but I still *CAN* do the other ones.

In fact, when recently (I run the .NA part of the Internet) asked what my day job is, I said: 'In my day job I am a Gynecologist and in my night job an Obstetrician' :-)-O

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.
