Patient Father in the delivery room/children, tooFrom: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. (garrys@mindspring.com)Mon Jul 11 12:57:09 2005
Absolutely agree. Many of our younger, more rural patients have various male relatives/people sitting in the room when I arrive for an exam, or whatever. I have decided to simply and nicely ask them to step out, but MOST of the "normal" families that I see get the hint and the relatives are getting up as I walk in--for decency and privacy reasons. On a related issue, a 26 or so week multip. who has had an annoying pregnancy--always calling about something that is minor, kind of a frequent flyer has called and asked if her 4 year old son can be in the delivery room. This child has been at every visit, and in contrast to most families, he has been disruptive in the sense that he interrupts, sticks his head where it doesn't belong, etc. I have zero problem with pregnant moms bringing their children to the office, as most of the children are well-behaved or threatened by the Moms (probably) to sit still. This Mom just doesn't get it. Thus, our nurse told her "no" and she asked if our midwife allowed it. This will be fun for later. Garry

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.
