I don't know. I saw her tonight and I probably wouldn't let her fly alone either. Anyway...I just thought it was ironic that the hypothetical posed was what I was facing.

The good news is that she pushed 3 times and baby came out with Apgars of 9/9. Whew! I can relax again.

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.
