Re: casual research questionFrom: westsidebirthservice@juno.com ("westsidebirthservice@juno.com")Fri Jun 29 11:46:51 2007
Well yes, but what about the quote from a doctor in "What to Expect. . ." "If your physician decides that you need medication, don't wait. . . " or what about the pain scale that brings the nurse into the laboring woman's face every hour asking her how bad the pain is (doesn't that go contrary to the idea that the pain of birth can be handled with support and relaxation instead of always focusing on how bad the pain is?). Or I once read a research article published in the late 90's (can't remember the article off the top of my head) that said that physicians don't do an informed consent re: side effects of epidural because they (the physicians) think the women would rather trade pain relief for infomation. I'm trying to be provocative here-- interested in the dialogue. Louana

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.
