Re: Mg for all???

Siegel, M.D.: "Common Threads" Back in my day - I really did think about each person diagnosed with PIH / mild pre-eclampsia. There was that thought "if it is worth naming that diagnosis - then you should plan on using the Mag" - we didn't run mag on all - but I had a really short fuse for starting it - and some of that was the gestalt. This brings up another pet peeve I had of some colleagues when I was still in OB (and picking up someone else's pieces in the AM) - I have seen some folks - or mostly heard from the L&D nurses chatting - about the inductions that go on & on - or are given rather half hearted attempts. My comment was that if they need an induction - then they need delivering - and if they don't really need delivering, then they probably don't need the induction. If they just need a contraction stress test - then call it that - but if they need delivering - then there needs to be a plan in place that gets them delivered. Just my pet peeves and past experiences! Joanne At Fri, 18 May 2007, Andrew Folley wrote: > >I have to go back to my original question.

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.
