> Would that be that the physician's right to do whatever he wants trumps There are two "rights" here (if you ignore the baby's right): 1) The woman's right to take whatever risks with her body (after being informed what the risks are). 2) The physician's right to practice what he feels is good medicine (i.e. not be forced against his better judgment into a course of action that he feels is unacceptable, given the standards, the circumstances, etc.). How you balance those two "rights" is the question. We all talk of #1 a lot, as we should. But #1 does NOT automatically overrule #2, by any means. And sometimes, although I may be getting ahead of the argument here, there is no easy solution to the problem and it ends up being decided on policy grounds (e.g. you can't have patients willy-nilly showing up at hospitals and demanding unacceptable procedures or treatments when the doctors don't think they're warranted -- it would make the "system" unworkable).

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.
