Mybe not, the hysteroscopyc use was not mentioned in the origina protocol and the bioethical committewould not like it very much. They alrealdy are very annoying. They forced me to do a complete STD screening, pregnancy test before the biopsy using the Pipelle. If i wanted to use the Novak curete (2 mm of diameter) they would say that I should state that the patient has the risk of permanent infertility after the procedure....and of course all of them will sign the paper...

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.
