Caps are a bandaid - will not ultimately solve the problem.

"Be careful what you ask for. Capping damages might slow the rise of insurance rates, but it would not cure the underlying disease: an ad hoc legal system that has infected health care with a debilitating distrust. This distrust has spawned a culture of secrecy and waste in "defensive medicine," undermining the quality of care and contributing to skyrocketing costs and reduced patient access. "

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.
