Re: Dr.Klein, where are you From: Raymond Stephen (stephen.raymond@dhhs.tas.gov.au) Tue Nov 29 18:15:57 2005 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Dr Eberhard W Lisse: "Re: Dr.Klein, where are you" Previous message: Henry Gregor: "Re: Dr.Klein, where are you" The difference between obstetrics in the USA and that in Britain comes down to a fundamental difference in the organisation of medicine in the two countries - socialised medicine (the NHS) and capitalist medicine. Despite all its faults the NHS allows for an integration of obstetrics into a model which covers all needs under one organisation. The thread about GBS highlights the fact that different societies have different rates of Streptococcal colonisation, and what is appropriate in one country is not in another.

Clearly Zach is correct in noting the degradation of this topic to trivial responses, which is not the same as saying the thread topic is trivial. However, it is an apples and orange thing to compare practices from two different venues w/o noting (albeit sadly, no doubt) that what occurs in one place or the other is not free of the cultural, legal and other sociological factors that impact on the process. Gosh, I'd like to do midwifery in GB, with a social compact society that accepts both the advantages and any possible disadvantages inherent to the process. For the many reasons noted earlier, that practice model doesn't work here. To say folks should work for change is admirable, though it is not gonna' happen...perhaps we should all think "Serenity Prayer" here...as in Lord give me the wisdom to...etc., etc. (I suspect most respondents have no trouble acknowledging the aptness of the prayer.) We might all remember the line re a fa! natic being one who cannot stop talkiing about a subject and who cannot change the subject. Gail, I hope you ultimately do well without your nicotine.

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.
