Re: Terbutaline Lawyers...still have concerns

If literature search results and personal consultations with perinatologists haven't met your concerns, than,IMHO, it is unlikely anything in this forum could add more relevant information.

OTOH, a few friendly, anecdotal or specultive responses could sure 'cause the devil's own stew should your concerns rise to the level of a lawyer's attention. Quite conceivably that could happen should lawyers Google around enough on the topic. Of course, wouldn't think you, as an ObGyn, in England and w/o the American plaintiff's bar and our lottery tort system, would elevate it to such attention. However with a broad enough search and a broad enough citation of comments, such comments could be less than helpful not only for you, but well intentioned others as well. And, of course, my apologies for any impression of cynicism...however, after three thousand plus deliveries and no lawsuits, I offer divine thanks about every day for the useful qualities of cynicism as we all go about our obstetric activities.

When I searched the literature, I was shocked by the adverse information about brain development in animals. I asked my perinatologists about this. They were not at all concerned about it and were very reassuring. I still have a lot of concerns about it...

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.
