Why would you wait so long to see her for her first visit? I usually see them in the office if they call requesting a confirmation of pregnancy. I realize this is not standard of care, but it is good customer service and good business sense...

She's dead - that means cheap, no ongoing medical expenses. She has no other
(minor) children to be named and supported. The husband is the only other
person who has a claim.

Joe P.

As mentioned - had positive pregnancy test and i apologize - not one DAY past LMP, but one WEEK late. Then went TWO weeks and collapsed and died from ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

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.
