What it means is that one can not win, no matter what one does. Even if you do the correct thing, someone will find fault and castigate you in some way. This is the unfortunate outcome of our wonderful legal system. In this case, if I decide to leave the IUD in place because it does her greater good in preventing pregnancy (which is very likely to occur if IUD will be out) and she develops pelvic actinomycoses (which is extremely unlikely) it will be my clearly fault (as any attorney will be able to demonstrate to an uneducated jury (read: my peers,[ tongue in cheek ] ), and thus having done the right thing, I, nevertheless, get punished. Hence my only way out of this predicament (and even that is fraught with failure) is to educate the patient and let her choose. It's probably the correct way out also because we should be in charge of our bodies, make our own decisions, and not have someone dictate to us what is best. -- Rafael Haciski MD FACOG Palmetto, FL On Mar 12, 2006, at 7:04 AM, GA12L@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 12/03/2006 03:22:00 GMT Standard Time, > RModugno@aol.com writes: > a good deed is punished > Correct > So if a good deed is punished, who wants to do a good deed?

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.
