The issue is not labels or titles (midwives vs. physicians), but competence and knowledge vs. lack thereof. Had a Harvard-trained MD posted the blathering that Tanya did, it would be every bit as worthy of ridicule and challenge. OTOH, I certainly know some midwives to whom I owuld trust my child's birth more than some board-cretified obstetricians. If you do not, then you either don't know enough midwives or enough obstetricians. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Woolley -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Paul, Minnesota "Weapons defend the lives of those who wish to live peacefully, and they also on many occasions kill men, not because of any wickedness inherent in them but because those who wield them do so in an evil way." -- Giovanni Boccaccio "The Decameron" c. 1350 Next message: John Robertson M.D.: "Re: MgSO4" Previous message: Robert J.

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.
