If I were the surgeon, I would be pretty unhappy with anyone that gave her additional narcotic that I did not know about, perhaps masking a problem of which I am unaware. The surgeon should always be the one responsible for pain management, from the time the patient leaves the recovery room, until there is no need for pain meds. After all, pain is one of the most important trends that you track in the post op period. -- William D.

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.
