Woolley: "Re: OB:Cesarean for anencephaly" Dr. Woolley, The two situations are not similar at all! Of course I would not honor the request of a young women who wants an elective hysterectomy. However, given this situation an honest, compassionate physician might understand the need for this woman to spend the few precious moments with a liveborn child. I don't think granting her request is so reprehensible as you try to portray it. A. Fuentes >----- Original Message ----- From: 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.
