Re: Decision favors girl hurt at birth From: David Priver, MD (dpriver@aol.com) Thu Feb 26 17:45:04 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Jane Helwig, MD : "Re: Decision favors girl hurt at birth" Previous message: art fougner, md: "Re: Decision favors girl hurt at birth" In reply to: art fougner, md: "Re: Decision favors girl hurt at birth" Next in thread: Jane Helwig, MD : "Re: Decision favors girl hurt at birth" Reply: Jane Helwig, MD : "Re: Decision favors girl hurt at birth" It is pretty incredible that there exists an OB anywhere in this day and age who wouldn't get a cord Ph on an unresponsive newborn. That said, it is equally incredible that compensation for a catastrophically damaged newborn would depend upon a blood gas report. I thought the no-fault fund was designed to take care of any neurologically damaged newborn without the need to go through any process at all. Who really cares whether the injury was caused by hypoxia or some poorly defined antenatal event? The mere existence of a brain damaged newborn should qualify the patient for compensation. I thought that was the whole idea behind this concept.

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.
