Charity Hospital is only a couple blocks over from the Dome. However, it's basement has been known to flood. It could be bad news.

I would think it possible that some babies could be born, even VBACed, in the Dome in the next couple of days. If something DOES happen, OB is done at University Hospital, which is about 6 blocks away.

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.
