I've run into those types before. They want Beth to declare that mom is perfectly healthy and not at risk for any complications and then they'll go off and do it themselves. I support the right of a woman to deliver at home but only with a trained attendant. Those kinds of folks are just wacko and angerous to deal with.

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.
