Do you know if she's delivered? Are you sure your relationship with her is terminated? Any chance she'll show up again after 5 days of ruptured membranes at home with arrest of labor wanting your care?

Just asking, since it could still become global if she returns to your care and you choose to continue to render services to her.

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.
