There are two other hospitals in the area that I use that will use Cytotec. I just redirect patients there. The reason it is an issue is that this hospital only has 6 LDRPs, one c-section suite and no delivery rooms. If I cannot reserve a bed, I have a 30% chance of not having a bed if my patients go into spontaneous labor. I'm tired of patients enrolling in this facility, only to be redirected because the Inn is full. Getting to close to Christmas to send patients to the manger.

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.
