The Key point of this discussion is that some people want a result (good birth )without accepting the risks (uterine rupture,fetal death or suffering and great risk for mother) and are prompt to change idea if something has gone wrong as you can read (also for midwives) >From Ina May Gaskin web site
http://www.thefarm.org/midwives/imgnazis.html t is hard to say why the mother who lodged a complaint against Amin, Walker and Thorpe with the Board of Consumer Affairs did so‹her baby was born sound and healthy at their birth center two years ago, despite the fact that the mother arrived there late in labor with a baby that turned out to be in breech position. Because the baby arrived so quickly after the discovery of his position, there was no time to call emergency services.

Yours faithfully Emilio Porro M.D.

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.
