Efrain: In other words, you won't pay attention to the CDC or ACOG guidelines! If the patient dies from penicillin anaphylaxis or the neonate dies from septic shock due to maternal antiobiotic administration, how would you defend giving a patient antibiotics unecessarily? Just because something "sounds" wrong that doesn't mean it is wrong. There are many thing like this in medicine.

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.
