I'm particularly fond of the idea that nobody owes you "damages" for the birth of a healthy child, per se (they may have to pay for your delivery, but NOT for "the child" itself, i.e. raising it - no court can adequately assess the "pain and suffering" of having a child versus the "blessings" of having a child - besides, you COULD give it up for adoption, right?). However, the courts elsewhere are interesting in that they distinguish whether the tubal was for economic reasons (can't afford more kids) or for health reasons (maternal age, etc.). I hadn't heard that line before. So I learned something from the case, but I don't obviously agree with all the learned judges. Joe P.

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.
