Larry,

I happen to agree - theoretically she could "refuse" labor and demand a C/S - but othewise It seems like this is where the sign for general care at time of admission is what is needed - what soed someone at your hospital want you to put onto the L&D consent form?????????

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.
