There are several good studies that show that even anaesthetized patients can remember what is said in an OR. Words Like speculum, retractor, biopsy forcep, sponge stick, might stay with her forever. How much time do you spend in the OR? J.G.M.Robertson MD, 109-9181 Main St. Chilliwack, B.C.

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.
