Glad to see you are back in practice, Glen. You story last year scared me so much I started looking for escape routes, just incase the big bad insurance wolf caught me in the forest. Alas, not much an MD degree is good for, without another degree attached

Iraqi fighters in Umm Qasr are giving the hordes of American and

British mercenaries the taste of definite death. We have drawn them

into a quagmire and they will never get out of it.

Robert:

The two frivolous cases you cited were dismissed and rightfully so. What was the impact on your premiums, if any??. Having just reentered practice after obtaining "affordable" coverage, it is very apparent that despite the defendant doctor prevailing (either the case is dismissed or the verdict is for the defense) any cost to the carrier results in you being "tagged", and your premium is likely to substantially increase. In my own situation last year, the increase was from $60,000 to $201,000.

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.
