You are kidding, right? As the covering doctor my obligation is to cover emergencies. The addition of an elective procedure to an emergency cesarean is a judgement call. I do not have an obligation to medically perform it and I would not consider myself liable for the cost if she obtained the service elsewhere.. Geff ===== -- Geffrey H.

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.
