F.R.S.C.: "Re: Tort Reform -- NO FAULT" A whole bunch of years ago I heard a law school prof (I think from Philadelphia) talk to an ACOG group in Boston (I think) about a reform of the tort system. Actually getting rid of it and creating such a mal-occurance system -- akin to workman's comp - but doing just what you are saying, Larry. That bad things do happen - and bad thing X is compensated by $Y and that is that. If someone really wants more - then it goes inot criminal court where the negligence has to be proved above and beyond the shadow of a doubt. He said he always got very cool reception from trial lawyers.

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.
