While masquerading as medical advice (and the website does have some rudimentary resources), the website encourages parents of children born with cerebral palsy to believe that most cerebral palsy is caused by malpractice. It's not clear if trial lawyers are behind the website (as they are with this similar site that fails to distinguish between "it's" and "its" and is registered in the same state with a similar IP address), or if it's just a spam source. The latter website gives some "indicators" that "a medical mistake may have caused your child's cerebral palsy," including "a specialist was called to care for your newborn." http://www.overlawyered.com Art -- art fougner, md "I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early."

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.
