Calling all Hands

Just received a call from friend (non physician) in Houston. Coulple lated 20s at his chruch with infertility. Got the "shots" etc now of course they have 5 in utero embryos ALL with good heart beats at about 12 weeks. needless to say recommendation from specialists etc is for "embryo reduction". Intellectually they understand it is the "right" thing to do; emotionally they just can not do it. Someone on the list was from Houston (I thought it Richard??) Who do I refer them to in terms of MFM specialist High risk hospital to call etc. Other ideas??? thanks andrew

A 75 yr old lady, postop day number 4 from a TAH/BSO and nodes for endometrial cancer presents to the ER with complaint of right hip pain. I happen to be close to the ER and I go ahead and see her rather than the ER doc. I would venture to say that I did an expanded problem focused HPI and exam and had straight forward medical decision making.Is the E/M code for seeing someone in the ER that of observation or is there another that I've missed? Or is this visit somehow tied up in the global package? Thanks, Glen

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.
