I would say that the difference is the home has now become a workplace and my gut level feeling is that the same requirements would apply. I pity the fool who asks. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. In general it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission, However, in the case, with federal/state regulations, you're responsible for knowing all regulations ahead of time, ignorance is fines or worse! > >Wait, what would OSHA or the other government agencies have to say about a >PRIVATE home's waste? If you flush blood down the toilet or sink in your >home, is that regulated? I understood that the underpad was bagged and >brought back to the hospital. So what if you wash amniotic fluid and blood in >your washing machine?

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.
