No, he didn't section a multip at 8 cm. MY patient was a primip. What he did was to walk out of the OR, leaving an open belly on the table, to deliver HIS patient, who was a multip and he should have know before he took my patient back to section that his would probably deliver within the hour. There was no great hurry with my patient, so he should have called in one of his partners to do the section or to deliver his multip, or just waited to start the section until his lady was delivered.

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.
