And people wonder why doctors claim there is a medical liabilty crisis. Did an expert actually state that malpractice had occurred? I had a patient that tried to sue a local theme park because a ride put her into preterm labor. In fact, she admitted to me during her history and physical that she ignored the signs saying not to board the ride if pregnant, and got on only by sandwiching herself between her husband and mother to hide her pregnancy from the ride attendant. The ride shook her up pretty hard, and she delivered on arrival to the labor unit at 34 weeks (baby turned out fine). I wrote every word down in her H&P, which apparently dissuaded her attorney from pursuing the case. Ashley

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.
