In hospitals where this cannot reliably be done, it's not "my uterus, my choice", but rather "my uterus, my baby has NO choice". The fetus is the one who takes the greatest risk with TOLAC/VBAC. How many people make that clear to their patients? -- Douglas Krell MD FACOG > >"My uterus, my choice," read one placard at a rally in late July at St. >Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash.

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.
