Would be curious to know what happens to him. On the subject of leaving the abdomen open, I have not seen anyone leave the hospital, but several years ago an OB agreed to section a lady for me (actually he insisted on sectioning her at 8cm because she was on pit and had been 8cm for >1hour). Excellent FHT's, no big hurry, but this guy wanted to get home so he took her back even though he had a multip at 7 cm. Didn't call in an assistant, so I assisted, and of course his multip got complete right after he got the baby out, so he WALKED OUT of the OR, leaving me standing looking into an open belly for twenty minutes. The med student and nurses and I just looked at each other. Mom was AWAKE. I never referred another patient to him.

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.
