It does seem trying that on this list we periodically face re-inventing the wheel. A Blast from the past ... Women's Health Midwife to stand trial in home delivery death Baby died after complicated breech birth in 2002 The Associated Press Updated: 8:58 a.m. ET June 4, 2004 PITTSBURGH - At a hearing that drew busloads of Amish protesters, a judge Thursday ordered a midwife to stand trial in the death of an infant after a complicated home delivery. Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist, testified that injuries the baby suffered as Wilson tried to remove him from the birth canal could not have been caused by paramedics or doctors who treated the baby after Wilson finally called for medical help. Had the mother been in a hospital and the child delivered by Caesarean section, it would have survived, Omalu said. The involuntary manslaughter charge carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. Wilson also will be tried on charges of endangering the welfare of a child. Art

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.
