Re: Latex allergyFrom: Steve & Eryl Raymond (eryl@intekom.co.za)Fri Aug 27 15:36:27 2004
There again is that strange American word which defies logic - "irregardless"! Where does it come from and why is an ex-South African using it? It's either "irrespective" or "regardless", but not a chimera of them both. As for the latex allergy, yes, it is another reflex from a society obsessed with the law-suit. No doubt there is potentially a cross-reaction, but the chance must be slim. How "potential" is "potential"? Steve RModugno@aol.com wrote:
>Our hospital has the protocol of treating all patients who are allergic to avocados, kiwi fruit, bananas, and "tree nuts" as people with potential latex allergy. This is irregardless of whether the patient has had numerous pelvic or other exams outside the hospital with impunity.( Sounds like typical American defensive medicine to me!)

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.
