I haven't started getting flames yet. . . Read the bottom of the link you just posted: "Young physicians getting burned out. Four separate papers address the issue of resident burnout. One study found that 76% of residents reported giving sub-optimal care at least once a month, while another found that one-third of residents moonlight for up to 20 hours beyond their normal 80-hour workweek. According to one study's findings, more than one-third of residents suffered from four or five symptoms of depression." * * * How long is the medical profession going to tolerate residents working up to 100-hour workweeks with 76% of them admitting to giving sub-optimal care? What insurance company in their right minds would continue to insure under these circumstances? Someone needs to get a clue here. Sometimes recriminations are the solution. Follow it through in M-W: a charge of wrongdoing, to charge with an offense judicially or by a public process. You've got to call it like it is to get at the root of the problem. -- Marilyn Ringstaff, CNM Rome, Ga Note: “By the Cromer Group: In August, 2001, 81 percent of people polled said that their family had experienced a medical error. Of those, 88 percent considered suing but did not, and only 4 percent actually filed suit.” Next message: Joe Cutchin: "Re: writing an article on large families" Previous message: art fougner, md: "Re: GEN: Vegas Trauma Unit Endangered" Maybe in reply to: Marilyn Ringst: "GEN: Vegas Trauma Unit Endangered" Next in thread: Joanne Bulley, MD: "Re: GEN: Vegas Trauma Unit Endangered" Reply: Joanne Bulley, MD: "Re: GEN: Vegas Trauma Unit Endangered"

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.
