OB: Welcome To The PartyFrom: art fougner, md (evsono@pipeline.com)Fri Oct 24 07:00:28 2008
PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wis. — A Crawford County jury awarded more than $11.4 million in damages to the family of a boy who suffered brain injuries from complications during his birth in August 2005. In a unanimous decision handed down Friday evening, the jury found in favor of Chad and Amy Jelinek, who claimed their son’s brain injuries were caused by negligent care by a Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center nurse midwife and nurse during delivery on Aug. 7, 2005. The jury found that Glenda Pinkham, a certified nurse midwife, and Michelle Dwyer, a registered nurse, were responsible but cleared Dr. Shannan Stephens of any wrongdoing. In their 2006 suit, the Jelineks claimed hospital staff “failed to act appropriately and to deliver Laine in a timely fashion” and argued that Pinkham misread fetal monitoring strips that showed the baby was stressed and that she should have called in Stephens when the delivery was not progressing as it should have. http://www.lacrossetribune.com/articles/2008/10/23/news/00lead.txt

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.
