Re: Today was a GOOD dayFrom: AllanHo@aol.comSun Mar 2 16:30:22 2008

You must work in a huge hospital with unlimited empty OR's and bunches of scrub nurses and anesthesiologists just sitting around twiddling their thumbs, even on weekends. How nice for you. In the real world, there are plenty of excellent hospitals doing excellent work with the resources they have. BTW, my mother used to be a nurse surveyor for JCAHO and once surveyed this hospital. She told me I was lucky to be working there, because it was easily the best hospital she had ever surveyed, of the hundreds all over the country that she had seen. It was a good day until I decided to tell my friends at OB-Gyn.net about it. I'll keep my good days to myself in the future.

And, since I mentioned speaking with consultants a couple of times in the story, I'm not sure why you couldn't figure out that I was an FP. Anna, You don't think obs consult each other? If that's the case, we wouldn't have this list. Right from the beginning, I was not even interested in how you managed your patient. The clinical part seemed pedestrian. I was only curious in why you gloated when seemingly everything had to have gone wrong (or at least not as intended) before you could have had your normal vaginal delivery. That really implies that the flip side would not have been so desirable if everything HAD gone according to plan. If the outcome of your planned actions were not as desirable, how can you continue to have faith in your own practice? I think your gloating might have underscored some of the frustration that a day-to-day practicing OB has to contend with. That's why I found your jubilation in little odd! All your assumptions about me was wrong! You can try to make me feel bad that you would not come to me as your ob. If being handed off from physician to physician, and from FP to Ob to FP, is what you desire with your care, then you shouldn't come to me. Until a month ago, I was solo. I took care of every single one of my patient 24/7. I was with every patient every single step of the way. I am my patients' biggest advocate! Patient satisfaction is never overlooked. Contrary to what you think, I practice in a small hospital where people would go out of their ways to accommodate. And I did work with FPs and CNMs before, they preferred to work with me! Heck! One of them even married me! I don't mean to tear your case apart. I just wanted to make a point that not everything was Jim Dandy. I don't want to second guess your management. I just know that I wouldn't be feeling so good if I was in your shoes. I am happy that you are happy. I learned something about human nature from our discussion, albeit awkward. Let me apologize for the third time if you felt I rained on your parade. Allan

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.
