Siegel, M.D.: "Re: IUFD Management" Reply: Garry E. Siegel, M.D.: "Re: IUFD Management" I agree with you 100% I have always thought it best to go home - grieve with relatives and then come back in for the induction etc. But ... by the time I left the big group and went solo in 98 and stopped OB -- it was difficult to convince anyone to wait. The younger partners were like the colleags of your who rushed into the induction thing. Instant Gratification - ingoring the emotions - until a later date and then go into counselling and then be mad at the docs who "forced" you into induction without time for grieving.

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.
