Daniel Braun: "Re: Malpractice questionairre" I agree with Ef...for all the stress and responsibility ob's bear for each delivery until that child reaches legal majority, it's money well spent. I've seen several cases of obs and peds getting stung with a suit seven to twelve years down the line, and in each instance that I interacted with any of the involved docs, there were regrets expressed about not having done some things that would have been to their advantage later down the line. It's sorta' like an automotive seatbelt...cars would cost less if that protective device weren't added to each one made, but when you need one and benefit from it, its pretty cheap equipment and money well spent. Placental path falls into the same category, IMO.

I do them to all my deliveries..I am sure it will, someday, become the standard of care. Ef > At Tue, 26 Jun 2007, R.

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.
