Cincinnati friend From: Joanne Bulley, MD (islesannie@yahoo.com) Tue Sep 28 22:49:33 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Zachariah Newton: "Re: GYN: Menostar" Previous message: Joanne Bulley, MD: "Re: GYN: Menostar" Next in thread: Bernard Cristalli: "Re: Cincinnati friend" Reply: Bernard Cristalli: "Re: Cincinnati friend" Maybe reply: Braun, R. Daniel: "Re: Cincinnati friend" Thanks to folks who commented -- my friend had a second opinion. The doc listened - looked over the records - and discussed with her the ablation (recommnded as the only option by her former gyn) along with hyst +/- BSO vag vs abd vs LAVH vs SCH etc. She is having a LAVH/BSO -- so that if endometriosis is found it will also be treated. She is thrilled to be looking at the "end" of the horribly debilitating cycles she has been having. She is also concerned (for both herself and other patients) about the first doc who would only discuss ablation and not even consider hyst. >From her comments - my guess is that Doc #1 either is not a great surgeon so is very reluctant to go into the OR -- or is so into the homeopathic / non intervention stuff as to have throwm the baby out with the bath water. My friend (who is a PhD psychologist) agrees that there is something else going on with Doc # 1 and may think about how to comment on the doc failing to even discuss rationally the option of hyst. (she just said it is too risky an operation) I am interested in others thoughts - on a gyn (!) who won't even discuss hyst for a women with disabling pain!

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.
