> How sad that so many of the women NEED epidurals. wow. i dont know about where you practice, but at our hospital the patients subjective complaint of pain is now "the fifth vital sign". we get dinged by the QA police is we dont document it in each days progress note. over 90% of our labor patients have an epidural; usually the only patients not getting one have shown up in advanced labor and ready to push. i agree that labor pain is a "natural" event but then again so is a kidney stone and i have never heard a urologist tell his male patient "just breathe through it". but seriously, i see no benefit in withholding the most effective pain control at one's disposal.

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.
