FWIW, our MFMs quote 2 cm. as the cutoff for allowing a vaginal delivery.

Recently saw a scan on a CNM patient, 37 weeks, 9 to 12 mm from the os, posterior placenta, previous vaginal delivery then LTC/S for breech.

I got this scan on Friday at 3 PM, called her, and advised a section this week or if labors, and explained why. And I quote, "The midwife said it was OK." I told her that I was the obstetrician, and, well, my opinion was the senior one in this instance and that she was mistaken.

She did not like my advice, and who knows what will happen when she comes in this week to see the CNM.

Yo Garry, I think we've said this before, but for a peaceful collaborative practice, y'all should have a weekly provider meeting to discuss these cases amongst yourselves - thus avoiding the patient's response quoted above. Patients should really get a unified message.

Ours are usually at 7.30am so that providers can get to the satellite office about 20 minutes away to start office hours at a reasonable time.

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.
