Physician Has No Duty to Confess He Slept With Patient's WifeFrom: Richard Chudacoff, MD (dean@thehuffpeople.net)Tue Jun 29 16:07:40 2004
.. Physician Has No Duty to Confess He Slept With Patient's Wife The Legal Intelligencer A physician owes his patient a duty of care but not necessarily the truth -- that he's sleeping with his wife -- the Pennsylvania Superior Court held last week in a case of first impression. A doctor who slept with a patient's wife -- who was also a patient -- can't be sued for malpractice, the court concluded. Unlike psychiatrists, who have a "special duty" to refrain from sexual relations with a patient's spouse, general practitioners have no such duty. http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1088439688811

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.
