If "X" happens, the patient / family gets "Y" - because, realistically, things do not go perfectly. If the patient / family wants to prove negligence - then it goes to criminal court and it has to be the "beyhond the shadow of a doubt" (99.999%) certainty that there was criminal negligence. Not just a 50.1% vs 49.9% and do you feel sorry for the patient type of thing. The lawyers and those that feed off this system will fight this one tooth claw an nail. They will say they are worried that the poor citizen won't get his or her day in court, when in fact the problem would be that all those attorneys and the industrial complex built up around the tort system would not have anything to leach off of. only my opinion (!)

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.
