The difference is that in the cases you mentioned, the placebo is for the PHYSICIAN, not the patient! - - - - From: "art fougner, md" <evsono@pipeline.com> Subject: Re: GEN: Placebos Date: Oct 26, 2008 9:36 AM Anyone who's written a scrip for antibiotics for a URI has pretty much administered a placebo. Anyone who's given patients oral terbutaline for uterine contractions has administered placebo. Then there's progesterone suppositories for threatened miscarriage or "low serum progesterone" - the list goes on.

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.
