I just thought I could get away with hand sanitizers rather than sinks -- Richard Chudacoff, MD, FACOG Las Vegas International Center for Advanced Gynecologic Care (Specializing in minimally and non-invasive surgery) _____ From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of RModugno@aol.com Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 2:54 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: sinks vs. sanitizers In a message dated 7/25/2007 6:25:42 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, rchudacoff@mylinuxisp.com writes: I wasn't planning not to have a sink anywhere in the office, but not in the exam rooms. Hint: I put all my gloves and speculums in the basin that fits in the drawer that pulls out as a foot rest. My patients never see the speculums or gloves once I am through with them, and my MA then dumps or cleans what needs be once the patient leaves the room. I know what you are saying about "stuff" but I don't have that happen that much. I suppose a paper towel dispenser would work in those cases. Richard Chudacoff, MD, FACOG Las Vegas International Center for Advanced Gynecologic Care (Specializing in minimally and non-invasive surgery) No sinks, no business. Don't you wash your hands after each patient , Rich? Patients look for this stuff.The patients also like to wash their hands - they're in a Doctor's office for goodness sake - don't think you would have much repeat business. Now, if your not in the patient pleasing business - then your OK, or am I missing the point somewhere? My opinion-could be wrong.

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.
