Forceps - was -Twins case part I From: Joanne Bulley, MD (islesannie@yahoo.com) Sun Apr 28 23:13:13 2002 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Eberhard Lisse: "Re: Twins case part I" Previous message: Eberhard Lisse: "Re: Twins case part I" Next in thread: Eberhard Lisse: "Re: Forceps - was -Twins case part I" Reply: Eberhard Lisse: "Re: Forceps - was -Twins case part I" When I did Ob - I would much rather do an outlet forceps than apply the suction. But - yes it is a sad stat of affairs in the US - either the kid falls out - or an OB doc is called for a C/S. The art of attending and assisting is gone. I don't miss it at all with the way it has gone in the past 3 years! and as Art says - just my opinion and I could be wrong...

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.
