Re: Doctor ShortageFrom: dbb@dmv.comMon Dec 15 04:38:06 2003
We have two obstetrical groups for the region and one or two individuals. Within the last couple of years, many ob's have dropped that part of their practice or totally retired due to the malpractice rates. As was reported, some of the increases for these professinals were as much as 50% (because God help you if you have experience, 'cause they are the ones who got hit the worse). The population here and the area covered, there aren't enough. Newly pregnant mothers are well into their second trimester before they can get seen. My obgyn would not do "Primary Care" stuff. That's only right as that isn't her forte and she has "more important" things to be attending to. People that can't get in here are going to Baltimore, where by the very nature of its proximity to "large metropolitan hospitals" has a higher census of ob's and less wait. Donna B.

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.
