Re: gynecologic oncologistsFrom: Brickster0@aol.comWed Mar 31 20:21:27 1999
It's always good to know who you're talking or listening to. "Robin's" profile on AOL: Member Name: ROBIN Location: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Birthdate: 11/25/?? Sex: Female Marital Status: HAPPILY ATTACHED Hobbies: MUSIC, DANCING, PLAYING POOL, GARDENING, COOKING, READING Computers: YES Occupation: LEGAL SECTY. Personal Quote: NO RAIN - NO RAINBOWS Now some of more condescending list members would think this person an idiot based on any number of these characteristics (name, quote, occupation, geographic location) or simply her ignorant quote of the NIH statement. Here's my opinion, and basis for opinion. I operated with the old school Emory gyn oncs. I operated with the gyn oncs at USF (Tampa). I was one of the naive residents that did a one year pelvic surgery fellowship post residency with a private gyn onc. The private guy (Ernie Franklin) was head and shoulders above any academic surgeon. He operated all the time for 40 years. His private survial rates (which he kept track of ) was higher than all published centers (I believe him, I saw the patients in follow-up). We have 10-15 Gyn Oncs in Atlanta. They're average. But, there average is better than a average gyn's average. However, an average gyn with a competent surgeon/urologist can do almost anything a gyn onc can do(save rad hys/vulvectomy). The big difference is the gyn onc knowes taxol/platinium works. I still believe the chemo is better treated by the med onc. Our speciality is the only one arrogant enough to think we can do it all - primary care - sexual therapy - surgery - obstetrics.

Women's lives are at stake.

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.
