Re: Hospital faces suit over a pregnancyFrom: Braun, R. Daniel (rbraun@iupui.edu)Wed Jan 21 04:43:31 2004
It seems to me that if you really are in a situation where you needed one, it would take too long to get it, and the baby would already be damaged by the time you did. Also in the few cases that I am aware of where it actually happened, the baby is made a ward of the court until delivery, when it is returned to the Mother. And then in the next 6 months to 2 years, they have been removed from the mothers care for good and valid reasons.

Ashley Hill Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 4:24 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: Hospital faces suit over a pregnancy Has anyone on the list tried to obtain a court order to go against a patient's wishes, and, if so, do they have advice for facilitating this? Within the past month I had a patient refuse a section for repetitive lates with poor variability unresponse to resuscitation and remote from delivery. Thankfully she later agreed, but the nurses were mobilizing to get a court order. My only other experience with this was during residency, when the judge refused to grant an order to perform a section for a patient with a non-reassuring tracing and a mentum anterior face presentation.

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.
