No offense but if I was you and placed in the situation described, that would be the last patient I ever cared for, for that physician, group or hospital. I thought medical care was a team's obligation. You were about to be hung out to dry, then slowly carved up for lawyer fodder.

I'd ask for a raise, and reassurance that this situation could never occur again

Thank you for affirming that I was right. It is hard to get admin to listen
when it would cost them money (locum).


Thank God her temp went up last night and she is out of here. About 4 am
temp spiked (don't they always spike at 4 am) and I got the OB to agree to
transfer her to the high risk hospital. I think he was half asleep, but I
will take anything I can get. Couldn't fly due to weather, but ground got
here.


Thank God for small favors (and temperature spikes).


Thanks for the advice and not thinking I was crazy being worried.

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.
