After three thousand plus deliveries, guesstimating five hours lost sleep per delivery (what with the antenatal evening/early am phone calls as well as the deliveries that occurred at night), that's certainly reason to feel a little slack. Perhaps a "hospitalist" in-house delivery providor system might be something for the future. 'course it would come with a cost in terms of the interpersonal relationships that account for so much of the psychic rewards of the specialty. Hank "D.

When I ask why not, they all tell me "too many hours, too much stress, not enough sleep, too many chances for things to go wrong during delivery, and too many lawsuits."

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.
