I miss clinical and am starting my new job on Thursday as Director of OB Services at a small community hospital here. Praying that liability issues will not affect me as much as the L&D bedside nurses! I'm scared sh**less!! What a sad indictment of the society you live in that you have to give up a job for fear of litigation. Being scared is good though, it'll save you, all that adrenalin couring around your body... Gail, I wish you every success in your new job. I'm sure you'll be blindingly brilliant. Remember, if you can't dazzle them with diamonds, baffle them with bullshit. Works for me every time!! <<Many doctors, like my husband who is a general surgeon, are basically forced to have their patients sign an arbitration agreement when first coming into the office. This puts the patient, doctor and office staff in a very uncomfortable position from the start. It's like making plans to due before you even see the doctor! Sick, sick world that we have had to come to that here. I hope that liability issues are less in the UK.>> Yes they are less. We don't get sued, the hospital does through vicarious liability but lawsuits are few and far between and if a solicitor thinks a woman hasn't got a case they won't pursue it. Maybe that's your probelm, too many lawyers wanting to make a fast buck. I can just imaine meeting a patient for the first time and asking them if they intend to sue at a later date. Gawd blimey, what a state to get in to!! Best wishes and good luck for Thursday, The other Gail

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.
