> Of course - but Dan's notion that placing an IV is doing harm... I If I stick an IV in YOUR arm, without indication and without permission, it's a harm. It hurts, it has the potential for infection, it can cause bleeding, etc., etc. BUT, if you have a good reason (risk v. benefit for hydration, drug administration, access, etc.) and consent (which is a defense against a charge of battery), then you're doing "good". So absent ANY other circumstances, putting an IV in someone's arm is harmful. However, with the right circumstances, it's good. Joe P.

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.
