Previous message: GIN11153@aol.com: "Neonatal Encephalopathy and Cerebral Palsy - advice from Physician Insurance co." Ridiculously high award-got this from verdictsearch.com: Medical Malpractice - Los Angeles County Doctors to pay over $4 million to mom and palsy-stricken baby A woman and her minor child who suffered Erb's and Klumpke's palsies after delivery will receive over $4 million after a Los Angeles jury returned a verdict of medical malpractice against one doctor and the plaintiffs settled with another in July. Plaintiffs Sandra Bojorquez and her son Jesus Saavedra sued OB-GYN Chastity Jennings-Nunez, alleging that the doctor failed to properly treat Bojorquez's gestational diabetes. They also sued Ronald Johnson, who delivered the baby, alleging he failed to utilize maneuvers required by the standard of care to safely deliver a shoulder dystocia. The defendant doctors denied the allegations; the jury ordered Jennings-Nunez to pay over $1 million, and Johnson then settled for $1 million. The lifetime payout on the award includes an annuity.

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.
