Re: Lawsuit-Minded Doctors, Hospitals Restrict Delivery-Room VideosFrom: doctorjoe@aol.comWed Apr 6 12:25:59 2005
When I just got out of residency (so over 20 years ago), video cams were becoming more and more common and affordable, so people wanted to video deliveries, along with everything else. EVEN THEN, the "old guys" who didn't have a malpractice problem didn't want videos because they were afraid they'd be used against them.

Lawsuit-Minded Doctors, Hospitals Restrict Delivery-Room Videos The Associated Press Obstetrician and current AMA president John Nelson understands parents' desire to capture the miracle of birth on video. But a few years ago, he put a stop to that habit among his patients for fear the footage could become Exhibit A in a malpractice suit. "What used to be really fun and warm and cozy and so forth is now a potential nail in the coffin from a liability perspective," he said. Other doctors around the country are restricting delivery-room taping for the same reason. http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1112691908695

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.
