Re: Mom wants to know if daughter is virgin? From: Anna Meenan, MD (annam@uic.edu) Wed Oct 16 09:52:30 2002 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Lynn D. Montgomery, M.D.: "Testosterone and libido" Previous message: Dr. Manoj Bhama: "Interesting qs to obs/gyanacologist of world" In reply to: C.Moi,M.D: "Mom wants to know if daughter is virgin?" i would tell the mother that it is impossible to tell with 100% certainty whether someone is a virgin or not just by looking. I would also tell her that Illinois state law prohibits me from revealing to the mother anything the daughter tells me regarding her sexual activity without daughter's permission, and that I would recommend she sit down with daughter and discuss it. Then i would sit on my hands to keep myself from wringing the kid's neck. -- Anna meenan, MD At Wed, 16 Oct 2002, C.Moi,M.D wrote: > >I had an awkward experience where a mom brought in her 14 year old for >me to check & determine if she's still a virgin, the kid denied sexual >activity(in front of mother)and declined birth control telling me >later(in private)that she had sex "once", she won't do it again and >asked me not to tell the mother.I did not tell the mother, but I did not >lie to her either. >What would you do in such a situation? do we have a moral obligation to >the parents? or to the patients privacy(young as they are). >P.S This is taking place in USA Next message: Lynn D.

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.
