This is not the best moment to perform a BLT. If she looses their pregnancy you will have problems (posibly not legal but with your conscience). During pregnancy and in emergency situations patient and husband are not in the best time to decide such important and definitive procedure. In my opinion money isn`t important in this discusion, or it is ?

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.
