Re: Joanne, Lynn, &c's comments on physician discipine/ retraining of problem docs.

Your comments reinforce the observation of many nurses that docs stick together and stick up for each other (I know, the example is about incompetent even the other docs want to get remedial treatment or license revoked, but I think the principle applies), whereas nurses will use gossip, lying, maliciousness and not liking somebody to get a nurse written up, fired, or license suspended. Nurses and management are very willing to throw the book at nurses for any excuse, it seems. There are names for this: nurses eat their young, oppressed group behavior, bullying in the workplace, &c. Very sad. I've liked how docs stick together, in contrast, although of course this tendency can be counterproductive and dangerous for pt safety, as with the examples given. I envy how female MDs stick together and help each other.

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.
