There are better ways to try to persuade voters and legislators that we need tort reform. I disagree with much of the tort system, but trying to legislate the amount of money made by trial lawyers probably will fail on appeal. However, if the citizens of Florida pass a "3 strikes" amendment, then myself, my wife, and many physicians I know will leave the state. My family depend on my ability to earn a living, and with the number of high-risk deliveries and gynecologic surgical cases I perform, it's close to impossible to assume that I will not be involved in at least 3 suits during the rest of my career. Why would someone take the chance? Ashley

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.
