You are telling me, that in the UK a woman with a _VBA2C_ (mailto:VBA@C) would not think of suing, if there was a bad outcome? And that her "solicitor" would not refer it to a "barrister" if they thought she had a case?

Most women having a VBA2C would not get it on the NHS. We wouldn't touch her with a ten foot barge pole. She'd have to employ an independent midwife who will charge her a lot of money. IM's have no insurance, far too expensive, so suing would be a waste of time, But I am sure you're right and that they would think about suing.

With everything there is a risk, why should it be the OB that takes it all and the woman nothing? They're not children, they're consenting adults, aren't they?

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.
