If Congress can completely exempt certain segments of the medical system from any liability (as they did with the ERISA law and the managed care industry), they can certainly do it with "health care providers", aka, physicians, dentists, and other health professionals. They CAN do it, but so far they have not shown the willingness to actually do it. Only when there is sufficient pressure, such as a medical type Enron debacle, or two, is there any chance of anything being done. - - - - At 08:06 AM 3/10/2002 -0600, you wrote: >regarding resident hours - in NY after the death of the daughter of a >politically connected columnist - resident work hours were curtailed. >there to date has NOT been any study evaluating the care delivered AFTER >these regulations. it is high time this is done. > >again - with respect to the escalating premiums - the time for bandaids >has long passed - time for aggressive surgical therapy. we need >solutions - not fault-finding. > >just my opinion - i could be wrong. > >art > >At Sun, 10 Mar 2002, DoctorJoe@aol.com wrote: > > > >In a message dated 3/9/02 22:35:21, islesannie@yahoo.com writes: > > > ><< When will the residencies be funded enough to hire enough residents to > >work more reasonable hours?

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.
