Gen: What would you doFrom: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. (garrys@mindspring.com)Tue Jan 22 11:19:09 2008
20 YO P0 is coming in today for her routine visit at 24 weeks including her glucose screen. While I didn't deliver this patient, I did deliver her 16 year old brother, and her Mom, an RN at a local hospital where I practice, has been a patient for many years. Mom has called our assistants and said that the daughter is a hard blood draw and wants to draw the blood herself in our office. Our assistant (who is experienece and level headed, and also had a baby at 20, and now is 25) thinks Mom calls a bit too much here, and that Mom may not be so happy about the pregnancy. The assistant said that we need to draw the blood (I agree) and the Mom said she'd ask me. Would you die on this mountain? I want to support the staff (even if I may not agree, as long as it isn't critical) yet I don't feel like arguing with Mom. I am likely going to soft-pedal and say that it would be so irregular for her to do this under our roof, liability, insurance, yada yada. . .let us take care of the daugher and be a Mom, not an RN here. . .

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.
