Dr. Corda, great! You have probably already seen Dr. Libardi's follow-up, it was twins. Sorry I took us on a wild-goose chase into the "double bleb", but then we wouldn't have you image if not.

The best way to upload is to go to: http://www.obgyn.net/us/us.asp?page=cotm#Informal and follow the instructions... or you can just email them directly to me.

Thanks, Terry

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.
