<<I htink a little perspective might help and I hope I can add it. Dr. Wooley is trying to live in a black and white world. Dr. Bello on the other hand is living in a real world of grays. That real world of grays is sexist, bigoted, and prejudioced when looked at from a black and white perspective because if it ain't white, it's black. In reality it's gray. This black or white mentality, not allowing for gray, is exactly what we see form the religious right in their approach to the world. Bob come joiun the real world and leave your ivory tower. The above is my own personal opinion based on observation of the world and this thread from its inception about hiring female obgyn's preferentially over males.>>

Well, this is too good to pass up.

1) Living in a grey world puts you on the "slippery slope". Accepting something that's a "little bit wrong" just because it's also "a little bit right" (your grey, rather than black or white) forces you to ultimately answer the question: How MUCH wrong does it have to be before you put your foot down? If we all agreed on that answer, then there'd be no problem. Unfortunately, some of us like a little less or more wrong than others...

2) Since we're on the http://www here, talking about B&W and even grey scale is archaic. We should all be in COLOR! (You can argue about passive or active matrix in your laptops, but color should be prefered in this day and age.)

P.S. Anyone wanting to find out about the Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans this weekend, look at the Louisiana page on obgyn.net and look under N.O.Net... this is the local paper that has all the info.

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.
