As a medical student (spring 1980) - I did my rotation in the hospital in Flint, Mich - and this was at the near peak of the Auto industry lay offs. (something like 25% unemployment) Nearly EVEYONE had no private doc because of the hard times.

Well there was this primigravid who DID indeed have a private doc .. who was SO loud that she woke folks up two hallways away ... and the obscenities were really unbelievable.

The private doc had the resident do most = I was standing there and assisting. Finally the attending said to the patient that since she had called on (holy person) so much druing labor - she could have (hole person) deliver her the next time! and he then walked out.

She is the only one I was ever involved with that continued sursing just as much AFTER the baby was out -- eveyone else pretty much would either just quit with the obscenities - or say "Oh boy - I am sorry" and be horrified by their own behavior!

This one would not even look at her baby but demanded that we transfer her somewhere where thy would not put a person through what she had experienced!

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.
