Joe,

I'm likely more obtuse than most on the list, but I must admit that I don't understand your comment--is it tongue-in-cheek, or is it that you believe there "If all the mothers delivered at home," there would not be much difference in morbidity/mortality rates for moms and babies?? Draw me a picture...

My question is...how many OBGYN's have to go out of practice in order for people to realize that a problem exists and to actually DO something about it? Given the analogy to 9/11, I think that it would take a major catastrophe and then, people would only remember it for a short period of time.

Okay, suppose NO ob-gyns delivered babies. If all the mothers delivered at home, how bad off would the statistics be?

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.
