Re: C/sections on demandFrom: Henry Gregor (henrygregor@yahoo.com)Mon Nov 28 16:11:31 2005
Gail, Isn't it clear that in the US that for folks to protect their ability to continue to practice, one does have to keep G-d knows how many patients for the sake of one in G-d knows how many? And beyond that point, we have a nation of US citizens who may tell everyone they're not in favor of the epidemic of tort suits we have, but still demonstrate their well documented willingness to engage in such suits. We''re comparing apples to oranges here. We're all free to move from locale to another, but ultimately we need to function within the environment we find ourselves.

It's very rare so you can't keep all babies in for the sake of the one in God knows how many. Do you have many cases of postpartum pre-eclampsia? We don't and you can't keep all women in for the sake of the one in God knows how many. We could go on keeping women in for longer and longer just in case...but just in case might never happen and as we don't have the amount of lawsuits you do it would be classed as an unfortunate incident that no one could have envisaged. This is what I mean about you all practising defensively, practising in case...the baby develops jaundice; the woman has an eclamptic fit; she bleeds; gets a wound infection etc., etc., etc. We see everything as normal until proven otherwise, you seem to see it as normal in retrospect. But I suspect that's the fault of the system not the people who work in it. Gail

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.
