Thank you for the responses. Some of what I read about Sheehan's, not necessarily related to PPH, reported that pituitary malfunction may occur years later. I haven't dealt with a PPH this severe before.

>> Other symptoms may occur over months to years with the classic
patient presenting with failure of lactation, rapid breast involution, amenorrhea, failure to regrow pubic and axillary hair, skin depigmentation, anorexia and nausea, lethargy, weakness, and weight loss. Signs and symptoms may present years after the event.<<

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.
