In the absence of homebirth midwives able to order labs, US etc, they will need to continue to get these things somewhere.

Unless they don't want them. There are a growing number of women in the UK who will not have an US as their safety is still not guaranteed. As for blood tests, they don't have to have them do they?

I agree with your reasoning, Fran, regarding fostering dishonesty but do women need an obstetrician to receive decent antenatal care? Do OBs have that monopoly?

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.
