-- I am 56 years old with Situs Inversus which was not found until I was five years old. I have never had any medical problems because of it. In my case it was inherited. My Great Grandfather, grandmother, one second cousin,two first cousins and myself. My grandmother had high blood pressure and heart problems in her later years . died of a heart attack. Other than her none of the rest of us have had any heart problems at all.In the fifties I became very tired of Doctors curosity,but they never found anyhing wrong with it. The Situs Inversus was a complete one. I have made arrangements to donate my body to the School of Anatomy at Loma Linda , Loma Linda California.

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.
