Not suprisingly, patients are often very good at covering up their true intentions, and on more than one occaision I have seen patients back for postpartum care after a home delivery, "I just didn't have time to make it to the hospital, and my midwife just happened to be in the neighborhood" or because of intrapartum complications, accompanied by a lay midwife they have been seeing on the side. >I have a birth center/homebirth practice and have malpractice insurance. 1 >million in coverage and had a choice of several companies to go through. > >-- >Sue Turner, LM >So California > >Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 08:37:42 -0500 (CDT) >From: evsono@pipeline.com (art fougner, md) >To: OB-GYN-L@OBGYN.NET >Subject: Re: list >Message-ID: <200010171337.IAA26313@mail.medispecialty.com> > >and there's the rub - there is no malpractice insurance! and >interestingly enough - when there's no deep pocket, there are very few >suits. > >art > -- Ronald E.

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.
