ob-gyn-l list members,

This question came from Mindy an OB patient so it was rejected for the lists being from non-medical professional.

I thought perhaps it would be of interest to you anyway so am forwarding it to you in case anybody would like to help Mindy get a metal OB Wheel for her physician. It is a cool idea.

Thanks Bruce

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.
