Re: Out-Patient CytotecFrom: David Rivera (cuurmudgeon@sbcglobal.net)Mon Jun 13 07:27:30 2005
*SNORT* I can give you bad press about home births with dead babies. Or the lay midwife in New Mexico who was treating a 49 year old woman for a nonexistent pregnancy but ignore the 3cm malignancy in her breast. Hemlock is natural but I wouldn't recommend it. Or maybe a little Amanita on your salad. It's attitudes like yours that make those of us who would normally be fairly open to new ideas foam at the mouth . (Or if you ask Anna, I foam at the mouth for no good reason). There are risks to everything we do, AND to everything YOU do. You have a vasa previa at a home birth and you'll have a dead baby. Several years ago I took care of an amniotic fluid embolism in a G3 P2 who was going through a normal, unevertful labor. FHR bottomed out to 60; she had a crash section and started oozing from the incision. 30 minutes in recovery and she started hemorrhaging. We went emptied the hospital blood bank trying to fix her DIC, then we emptied the local Red Cross. She had a hysterectomy, 30 units of blood and 4 days in ICU. Smugness will often get you into trouble.

I find something wrong with that. why not try something more natural? give moms Evening Primrose Oil at 40 weeks, or even 38 weeks. much safer and more gentle and it does the same thing, ripens the cervix. prescribe sex, heck, prescribe oral sex. evey other day from 38 weeks, her man will thank you profusely. It will ripen her up and work wonders for an easier labor for her and a faster one for you.

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.
