Re: Kick CountsFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Tue Dec 20 10:48:30 2005
What you don't understand is the US courts do not require any personal responsibility for their choices. If they make a wrong choice, it is because the physician has not given them all the information they needed to make an informed choice. If I have a patient on whom I have recommended mammography and ordered mammography, if I don't receive the result, I am expected to contact the patient and ask if it has been done and if it has not been done, reorder it. If I don't do those things and she develops breast cancer, I will be sued for failure to diagnose breast cancer. If I have patient who has an abnormal pap smear and I recommend f/u in six months and she fails to keep the appointment and I don't contact her to ask why she didn't come and reschedule it, I will be sued if she develops cervical cancer.

I understood from the word go. BUT... Women must take some of the responsibility. If they want active birth without CEFM then why should you get creamed if it should all go horribly wrong. I don't have that responsibility I document in the notes and that's the end of that. If a woman says I don't want to be monitored that should be that. "and say to us how bad we perform. I wonder how you would react under our circumstances." Hell, you don't perform badly. I am impressed that you perfom at all. I wouldn't work under the conditions you do not for a million pounds. But what I don't undersatnd is why do you cop the flack, why don't the women take responsibility? 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.
