It is so easy for the inexperienced (ie never sued) individual to scream loudly about choice. They do not understand the financial and mental stress associated with any lawsuit- filed, threatened, settled or dropped. We are required by our liability carriers to inform them of any possible suit thus a potential claim file is opened. Even if ultimately the case goes nowhere, or if filed and dropped, the physician is "tagged" so to speak, and as these reported potential cases accumulate, the companies are spending money, and this results in surcharges that push liability premiums higher and higher. You are so right. I don't have the first clue but I am desperately trying to understand. I consider myself so lucky not to work in a culture that would scare the crap out of me because that's what it does.

I am lucky to work in a culture of no blame that 'allows' me the freedom to work with the women and give them what they want regardless without being burned at the stake.

What I don't understand either is who has all the power to stop women having VBAC's, homebirths etc?

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.
