sending again ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: Robert J. Carpenter, Jr. MD <zygote@icsi.net> To: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net Subject: Re: Hospital faces suit over a pregnancy Date sent: Mon, 19 Jan 2004 18:54:30 -0600 Given the almost absolute immunity of the judge in this matter and the fact that the hospital sought a court order for obstensively appropriate reasons, it will be very difficult for them the maintain the suit, if it is ever filed. However, given the current state of malpractice in Pa. perhaps even this frivolous suit will be allowed. The whole reason that a court order is obtained is to protect the institution and its physicians in such a case where the order is sought for protection of the child. I have sought and obtained 3 mandated court orders for C/S . However, they were highly spercific without probability of vaginal delivery, like the 8.5# fetus in an android pelvis with PROM and double footling breech, Transverse lie with arm presenting etc. I know no facts except those stated. The need to obtain a court order must be based on impeccable data. Such cases as the Georgia case of the placenta previa with mandated C/S which then ended up with a vag delivery and no previa and the forced C/S of the 26-27wk fetus in the DC mother with terminal cancer are examples of ones which were not well documented. If others have comments, will be pleased to read them! Bob On 19 Jan 2004 at 15:47, rmodugno@aol.com wrote:

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.
