But, you can only work to gain trust, and then hopefully get a window where the husband is out of town. IF you insist on keeping him out, you will lose the patient. But what about when they bring their kids? That always gets me -- Richard Chudacoff, MD The other day [the President] said, I know you've had some rough times, and I want to do something that will show the nation what faith that I have in you, in your maturity and sense of responsibility.

Do you-all (or y'all, for Dr. Joe) have a problem with significant others in the exam room during a pap smear? As time goes on, this is making me more and more uncomfortable, probably because I found out after the fact a couple of times that guys who insisted on staying in the room turned out to be abusers. I'm starting to wonder if there really is a legitimate reason for a guy to insist on staying in the room during his partner's pap, except that he doesn't want her to have any time alone with the doctor and is worried about what she might tell me. Personally, I can't imagine having my hubby in the room with me for that, and I'm sure he has no desire to be there either.

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.
