Re: VBACFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Mon Apr 11 17:38:58 2005
Just ask them to copy verbatim your office VBAC consent form in their own handwriting and bring it back the next visit. It certainly documents that they have read the damn thing! The lawyer who suggested this also suggests video taping the consent process, like that is really going to happen anywhere. After all the discussion of why videotaping deliveries is not tenable from a risk standpoint, possibility of misusing it as evidence, etc., why is taping a consent process any safer? I can see the plaintiff lawyer during the deposition, " and doctor, on reviewing the last segment of your consent discussion with my client, you didn't mention the 1/1,000,000 risk of xxx, did you?" Of course that is exactly the complication his client suffered and she certainly would not have consented to the procedure if she knew it was a possibility, or so says her attorney. "Every conscientious physician discuss that complication," says the MD who is working for the plaintiff's attorney. Ronald E.

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.
