Article of the week from Michigan Lawyers Weekly: Birth trauma matter settles for $1.3M Mother's infection not diagnosed, treated The plaintiff began prenatal care when she became pregnant. She had a history of one prior miscarriage. At 21 weeks' gestation, the plaintiff began having spotting and went to the hospital. Examination showed her cervix to be 3 cm dilated, 100 percent effaced, and her membranes to be bulging. Testing was done, which showed no infection. Amniotic fluid testing showed no intra-amniotic infection. However, amniotic fluid showed evidence of an elevated white count. An emergency cerclage was placed for an incompetent cervix.

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.
