Re: Informed Refusal - VBACFrom: Len2976@aol.comThu Mar 16 15:05:49 2006
And... patients and attorneys will sue even when they know the patient is responsible. Our practice is currently being sued. The patient had intermittant vaginal bleeding since the end of the 1st trimester. Her U/S revealed a placenta previa. The CNM who saw her in our office advised BR and pelvic rest. She was also seen by a perinaologist with the same advice at 24 weeks. At 29 weeks I, the CNM on call, received a call that she was "gushing blood" and coming to the hospital via ambulance. As she was wheeled through the door, she said "They told me not to have sex, but I did." She ended up having a C/S--EUA indicated a cervix 4 cm dilated with a huge blood clot as well as a complete previa. As far as we know, the baby (now about 2) has no developmental delays. The suit is for "potential developmental problems" based on not being told to abstain from intercourse. Despite my employer's attorney informing her attorney this is untrue, the suit is still going foreward. Lenora McCall, CNM

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.
