Re: where the continued pregnancy endangers the life of the woman concerned From: Elrod, Darryl G MAJ 48 MDOS/SGOBO (Darryl.elrod@LAKENHEATH.AF.MIL) Tue Mar 14 00:42:55 2006 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Elrod, Darryl G MAJ 48 MDOS/SGOBO: "Rings in surgery" Previous message: Elrod, Darryl G MAJ 48 MDOS/SGOBO: "Re: where the continued pregnancy endangers the life of the woman concerned" Maybe in reply to: Henry Gregor: "where the continued pregnancy endangers the life of the woman concerned" Next in thread: LCLEMOS@aol.com: "Re: where the continued pregnancy endangers the life of the woman concerned" I may be wrong, but I don't think the original post was not only about death, it was about risk. Even though PPH may be infrequent, it can have other consequences (additional surgery, hysterectomy) and each of those carries there own set of long term risks. Had that 1 in a million PPH NOT been pregnant, she may have still never had surgery, still had her uterus etc. It is true, she may have been hit by a car and killed (my only postpartum death-6 months after giving birth) but we all have that risk...men, women and children.

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.
