fainting in OBFrom: Theresa333@aol.comFri Jul 15 07:15:00 2005
I had a series of marines that fainted during the labor and delivery of their spouse; I would joke with the families about this. Army and Navy men didn't seem to get as woozy as the marines. It always seemed to happen to the tallest, biggest, toughest looking men. One guy was kept on a gurney during his wife's delivery; it was pretty cute to see both mom and dad cuddling their new baby in "his and hers" beds. His laceration was repaired after the delivery. I had one former marine that never faltered during the delivery of 3 children and he was proud to be "the marine that didn't faint", until I gave him an injection in my office. I had to call our EMT's to transfer him to our ER, he lost all continence and really impressed me with his vagal reaction. My RN was able to gently guide him to the floor, so no trauma occurred, just morbid embarrassment. After I had the upholstery cleaned, I decided it would be best if I stopped treating male partners in my office.

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.
