The ICU nurses were completely uncomfortable with her and when she woke up enough to be sent out of ICU, nobody on the maternity floor wanted her there. Finally got the MFM boys to take her across the river. They have an inpatient unit where folks are comfortable with both complicated pregnancies and medical problems.

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.
