This is, of course, not true, unless somebody has a gun to your head. You can, of you choose, decide that it is so unethical that you simply will not do it. Naturally, there are consequences to such decisions. I don't know what they would be in your case--perhaps the loss of ability to practice medicine at all, for all I know. But let's dispense with the illusion that you *have* to do it, shall we? You make a choice; you are responsible for it. Don't put the blame on others. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Woolley -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Paul, Minnesota "In short, the question is: Do I own my beliefs, or do they own me? If they own me, then the institutions that formulate and guard and sanctify these notions own me. I have joined a group.... If I am owned by an ideology, I am going to favor its defense as if *I* were being defended, because that's what will be happening. The free mind can open its fingers and let fall ill-favored fruit. Other ideas are always welcome. What is not welcome are views that hinder sight, that are themselves fists, that possess our souls like a disease, that say as Satan did to Faust after their bargain, "Now you are mine!"" --William Gass Next message: Robert J.

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.
