Windhoek is not much larger than the "small town" I live in (pop. 237,000 vs. 150,000). and there are more people in Chicago alone than in all of Namibia. I do envy the malpractice situation there, though. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Fri, 07 Jul 2006, Dr Eberhard Lisse wrote: > >Anna, > >Namibia is HUGE, has 2.2 Million inhabitants, half of them in cities/towns. > >Been there, done that, moved on (to Windhoek), bought the T-shirt. > >When working for the Government Health Service one has "Crown Immunity" >only gross negligence or intentional acts are not covered.

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.
