A couple went to the hospital together to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had a revolutionary new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it. The doctor set the knob to 10 percent for starters, explaining that even 10 percent was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labor progressed, the husband seemed to be feeling fine, so he asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20 percent pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and pulse and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this, they decided to try for 50 percent. This, still, did not seem to have any negative effect on him. Since it was obviously helping out his wife considerably, he encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL of the pain to him. His wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. She was even allowed to leave the hospital the very same day! Later that afternoon, when they got home, they found their next door neighbor dead on their front porch. -- Joanne Bulley, MD, FACOG Keene, NH, USA All decisions are made with insufficient data.

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.
