Bornstein: "Re: True stories of L&D (was GBS)" Reply: art fougner, md: "Re: True stories of L&D (was GBS)" I had a patient G2P1 full term - former corporate attorney - wife of a local family doc - who arrived grunting (first labor pain being about 30 minutes or less earlier) - all the rooms were filled (mostly with folks who needed to be kicked outbecause not inlabor) - I looked at her facial expressions (I had also delivered her first with a 3 hour second stage) ... we went straight to a post partum room with the emergency delivery kit - 6 cm and next contraction crowning and then delivered. We then held up the L&D admission and delivery paperwork and I said, "So, attorney SusyQ - what do you think of the paperwork? We took care of the patient instead" ... she and he both laughed. Yes - he did make it in - luckily her sister and brother-in-laws had been at her house. She had had one contraction - started to walk inside and the next contractin put her down on her knees - one of her in-laws drove her to the hospital - the other called her husband and stayed home taking care of the other child. Hubby walked in with perhaps 2 minutes to spare before the baby was born. No one complained about the paperwork. The attitude really was - take care of the patient and do the paperword whenever. (That was about about 8 or 9 years ago) All's well that end's well ... according to some ol' Bard.

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.
