C/sections & litigationFrom: Jason Gardosi (jason.gardosi@nottingham.ac.uk)Fri Dec 22 09:30:59 1995
Ashley Hill, 22 Dec 1995: >I am sure that if one of us did a c/section tomorrow for genital condyloma, and the patient developed atony and underwent a cesarean hysterectomy, the lawyers would come after us for doing an "unecessary procedure". I agree. BTW, I would be interested to know - have there been (m)any successful prosecutions for 'unnecessary c/sections'?. My impression is that in places with high section rates, there is a heavy bias towards intervention, in great part because nobody has yet had to worry about litigation for performing unnecessary procedures per se (i.e. unless complications develop). Comments appreciated! jason.gardosi@nottingham.ac.uk Ob/Gyn, Queen's Medical Centre University of Nottingham, UK

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.
