Their patients are afraid to come into the hospital because financial pressures to get that baby out ASAP can turn a natural birth into a c-section. You can talk a tired mom in late-latent phase into just about anything if you keep telling her "we can get this done more quickly for you" and even someone who was committed to a natural birth will let you give her pitocin eventually, when really all she needed was some rest or someone to stay with her and remind her that this will not go on forever.

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.
