Really good article: Always continue the conversation when a patient declines the treatment you’ ve recommended James M. Goodman, JD Partner, Hassard Bonnington LLP, San Francisco, Calif The concept of informed refusal is similar to that of informed consent. However, in working with physicians for 30 years, I have found that informed refusal is not nearly as well understood as informed consent. Informed consent means a patient has the right to understand the risks of death, serious bodily injury, or other common outcomes of an operation or medical treatment. The patient also has the right to be told about the risks of refusing a particular operation, test, medication, or other medical intervention.

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.
