Well John, if we ever meet, you can strike number 3 off your list, because I have met and worked with someone (a now-retired FP) who has successfully unlocked a pair of locked twins. This occurred long before I met him, back in the days when the US c-section rate was somewhere around 5%.

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.
