I can't think of any reason why that makes sense. It's a shame for the patient, but the general surgeon should have had her see you at some point prior to the procedure for counseling.

I'm awaiting an OR case, and the head nurse said that one of the general surgeons may call me to do a Tubal Ligation on someone who is having a Laparoscopic cholecystectomy this AM in about an hour.

Even if it is an existing patient, it really rubs me the wrong way--no chance to see, examine, counsel, consent or pre-certify (if needed), to say nothing of my office schedule.

Exactly.

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.
