Laws to suppress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit. This is the fine point on which all the legal professions of history have based their job security. Bene Gesserit Coda

The laparoelytrotomy qualifies as a vaginal birth through an abdominal inscision. It is usually accidental and unintended. It occurs when labor is obstructed, but the head has passed the cervix. The upper vagina sitting high in the pelvis and is cut to allow the baby to come out. I might try that when my c-section rates get too high.

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.
