You believe in the serial spraying of Prozac 5. Your idea of comforting a child is to place him in a papoose restraint 6. You believe that "shallow gene pool" should be a diagnosis 7. You believe that the government should require a permit to reproduce 8. You believe that chocolate is a food group 9. You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says "Boy, it sure is quiet" 10. You have ever referred to someone's death as a transfer to the "eternal care center" 11.

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.
