People wonder why so many of us don't trust doctors-this kind of behavior sets a perfect example. So, the next time you hear about a couple who has decided to have an unassisted birth-remember, THIS type of thing is WHY! Dr. Joe, what are you trying to say, that the mother is holding back or that the baby somehow knows what forceps are and that if he/she doesn't come out on her own, that he/she risks being RIPPED out by the head! I have seen enough! I am absolutley happy with my decision for an unassisted birth now! O! M!

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.
