what i hate is a 2 a.m. page - i call them and cuz my phone is blocked I have to go through privacy manger - and they still don't answer.. now if you page a doc at 2. a.m. - answer the phone when you get a call at 2:10 a.m. .... damn..

or you get the entire 17 minute version of Inna Gadda Davida from Iron Butterfly <anyone else as old as me - ggggg> before the voice mail picks up so you can leave a message to call you back .. or worse yet.. both privacy manger and a 20 minute song on voice mail

i know i am not alone on this one..

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.
