Re: Patient responsiblility--the followup From: Anna Meenan, MD (annam@uic.edu) Wed Feb 15 22:37:11 2006 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Elrod, Darryl G MAJ 48 MDOS/SGOBO: "Re: Music in the OR" Previous message: Natalie Melanson Martin: "Re: Sad but true" In reply to: Dr Eberhard Lisse: "Re: Patient responsiblility--the followup" Next in thread: DoctorJoe@aol.com: "Re: Patient responsiblility--the followup" Um, let's see.....angry, mentally ill, potentially suicidal pregnant lady off her meds goes to near term, drops a healthy (though small) baby with a minimum of fuss (and all expenses paid), gets back on her meds without incident, and as far as I can tell, has no reason to sue me. Considering what COULD have gone wrong, I'd say that, yes, things went pretty well, but since it occurred in the US, I'm sure you'll find something to criticize, el. I would expect nothing less from you. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Wed, 15 Feb 2006, Dr Eberhard Lisse wrote: > >You consider this *WELL*? > >el > >on 2/16/06 7:04 AM Anna Meenan, MD said the following: >> You recall my post last month about mentally ill pt from another state? >> So, here's the followup: She saw my former partner at the residency >> practice but no-showed for most of her antenatal testing.

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.
