There are some people who I intensely dislike, some whom I am afraind of even. I don't recal having been sexually abused as a child, though maybe my father was a bit aggressive and physically rough sometimes. None of the people I intensely dislike or am afraid of where known to me as a child. Does this mean I was sexually abused by the former leader of the UK Tory party (Margaret Thatcher) and have manged to suppress the memory? Or does it mean you are on dodgy ground here ? I would counsel to proceed with caution and don't assume the diagnosis is certain at all ! ;-) Malcolm Griffiths MD,MRCOG,MFFP,Cert.Mgmnt Obstetrician & Gynaecologist Luton & Dunstable Hosp., LU6 2DT, UK.

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.
