As for costs to the system,. a scheduled cs is not inherently more expensive than vag delivery, at least in some studies...beyond which, cost - if not excessive and ruinous to the social fiduciary responsiblility of the profession - should not trump patient autonomy...my one and half cents worth tonite, :-) Over here a vaginal birth costs around £750 but a c/s costs in the region of £2500 so c/s is a lot more expensive here. I was glad to read that you respect a patients autonomy. So why doesn't the patient respect the fact that her doc is doing what she wants and therefore has no comeback if it all goes tits up. If you agree to a c/s for maternal choice and she bleeds and ends up with a hysterectomy will she be able to sue you if she so desires? 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.
