Re: opinions, pleaseFrom: Raymond Stephen (stephen.raymond@dhhs.tas.gov.au)Mon May 14 18:11:52 2007
It has always mystified me why people mark the tube segments or send them separately to the lab. What difference is it going to make if one of the segments is not tube in the final analysis? You are still going to have to go back and deal with the missed one and I can't imagine that it is not going to be obvious when you get there which one needs attention. The tubes have been together all the years prior to the surgery, so why separate them?

To prove it is done. To the patient (and her lawyers) as much as to the Medical Aid funds. It depends a little on which hospital I operate in that day, but usually the operating theatre staff send one container only, because I mark the right specimen. One of the Pathologists was an intern of mine many years ago, the other one I have been sending these specimens to for over 15 years, so they know: "one specimen, marked with a suture, presumed to be the right tube, will be examined as tissue block II". On the few occasions where they only received one specimen, they always immediately phoned me, and started a major search, which was successful each time, unless I wrote on the form: "previous salpingectomy noted, only one, the right/left specimen sent" and they then comment on this in the report.

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.
