I have to ask: For any fellow ob's who are anti-malpractice (which I can understand...)my question to you would have to be this..What would you do if you (women) or your wife,sister,daughter(men) went into labor with a perfect pregnany,a perfect baby,and multiple errors on the doctors/hospitals part caused irreversable brain damage on that infant? Would you sue? Or would you lolly around in life,thinking that "It couldnt have been the doctors fault,because they do not make mistakes"? I can almost tell you right now what you would do,,,But I'd like to hear it from you. If the doctor delivering my child injured him because of poor timing,bad choices,inexperience,an "off" night...That doctor would lose everything when I was done with him/her,no exceptions. Do you think patients do not deserve the right to be taken care of by a professional who's 10 year (or more)college degree states that they can take care of you? I suppose I just do not stand unanimous with the plaintiff beating going on here...Have you ever been a plaintiff? I'll assume you would have a difference of opinion than that of the one you have now,if you were. Thank You.

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.
