Jury Awards WV Girl Injured During Botched Delivery

A 9-year-old girl that was severely brain-damaged at birth was awarded $17 million in a lawsuit against Monongalia General Hospital and her obstetrician. However, the state's caps on non-economic damages will bring the total award to $13 million. According to the suit, doctors failed to perform a Caesarean section in a timely manner, which caused oxygen deprivation while she was in the uterus. Philly Burbs, PhillyBurbs.com 03/28/2006

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.
