VBAC discussionFrom: K Dew (kdew@bellsouth.net)Sun Oct 29 07:30:57 2000
Perhaps I'm the only one on the list with the following opinion: I'm thoroughly exhausted reading the threads regarding safety/wisdom of home VBACs and most of them are passed over. Those who are for 'em will continue to be for 'em, those against 'em will continue to be against... It is like arguing with patients who take the OTC diet supplements, "hormone replacements", etc. because "the ingredients are all natural, not man-made"...one must refuse to engage in a battle of wits with unarmed opponents. IMHO, VBACs are not low risk, however, if anyone wishes to place themselves in such a dangerous position, then they must so be allowed. I suspect that they also find playing with loaded guns, driving at high speed without wearing seatbelts while smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol to be low risk activities. People have the right to be wrong, the right to their own opinions and the right to place themselves in danger. One could argue that the fetus should not be placed in a dangerous predicament (i.e. home VBAC) but the US has determined that the fetus has no rights (see Roe v. Wade) I'm waiting for some shrewd malpractice defense attorney representing a provider being sued for actions resulting in fetal damage to use the defense that the US Supreme Court has determined that the fetus is a "non-person", therefore how can one harm a "non-entity?" Admittedly a flawed letter, I will not respond to flames regarding this post, I just wanted to get this off of my chest

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.
