RV: Elective Induction - something goes wrong From: laure (lfolgar@vianwe.com) Tue Jul 13 09:11:29 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: rmodugno@aol.com: "Damage Cap Hits Some Hard" Previous message: DoctorJoe@aol.com: "Re: Elective Induction - something goes wrong" Sorry, problems with spam blocks. Better late than never. Medicine is an art, statistics are a good tool but what to do with all the "no significant" study?, say the patiente came later, we do not have a "evidence" solution. It is imposible to "prior" analize ALL situations. -----Mensaje original----- De: laure [mailto:lfolgar@vianwe.com] Enviado el: Miércoles, 07 de Julio de 2004 08:12 a.m. Para: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net Asunto: RE: Elective Induction - something goes wrong 38 weeks, two weeks later, the pregnant will have a probe to get into Spanish Healt Sistem as doctor, that means a secure work for all life, the last exam was ten years ago, if she do not make the probe she loose his work as interin doctor. No induction? L. Folgar County Area Specialist obgyn physician Melilla Spain -----Mensaje original----- De: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net]En nombre de Anna Meenan, MD Enviado el: Miércoles, 07 de Julio de 2004 06:06 a.m. Para: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Asunto: Re: Elective Induction - something goes wrong Just curious. What exactly are the "social reasons" that indicate the induction? I don't induce anyone before 41 weeks without a compelling medical reason. As an FP, I have to get a consult from an OB to induce, and if I asked for a consult at 38.5 weeks, any of my usual consultants would probably ask me just when exactly had I lost my marbles. What's wrong with just saying "No"?

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.
