The real world where a little racial or sexual discrimination is OK? No thanks.

Are you saying, Dr. Braun, that you, too, would favor a person of a particular race or sex on the basis of that characteristic over another candidate lacking the "desired" characteristic? Hint: this is a yes or no question. Yes indicating that you would discriminate in violatino of federal and probably state law; no indicating that you would not. Dr. Bello is squarely in the "yes" camp. Do you join him? (I would take an absence of response to indicate a "yes.") Like it or not, it really is that simple.

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives. -- Tolstoy

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.
