Check your medical library for a copy of a wonderful old textbook which I think has slipped out of print, *MacBryde's Signs and Symptoms*. (My copy is, I think, a 3rd edition, ca. 1983.) It has an entire chapter on the differential diagnosis of breast pain. Of course, I don't remember a bit of it, but at least I know where to look it up! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Woolley St. Paul, Minnesota "The strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures."

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.
