Re: Bone density mafiaFrom: Garry E. Siegel (garrys@atl.mindspring.com)Fri Nov 29 14:54:37 1996

> Zach: Your prose is compelling and, as always, well written. You may have missed your calling, as you could have been an attorney and/or a writer. Nevertheless, I find utility in densitometry in those women (they're not sick, so they are not really patients, according to the drivel here) who, despite life style changes including exercise and calcium, are not on ERT and are at risk. Typically, these are thin white women with hunched over mothers and family histories of breast cancer who will not consider the benefits of ERT over the theoretical risk of breast cancer on ERT. Am I missing the boat with that thinking?

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.
