It is usually whether the hospital is willing / can afford / to hvae an OR Team in house at all times. And to call that second OR team in when there is a VBAC if the first OR team is in the OR or goes into the OR for another emergency case. It is the cost / onus of paying for all those people to sit and twiddle their thumbs that makes the TOLAC/VBAC a problem. We always sat around watching the office income disslove while we couldn't bill and chalk it up to "doing OB" The folks that want to have the TOLAC/VBAC option are complaining to the wrong people when they blame the OBs - they have to convince the hospitals topay all those OTHER professionals to sit and wait.

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.
