But And it is a natural phenomenon that US physicians routinely disregard their patients' wishes, something I read here quite often but has recently been written up. On the other hand these decisions are made by health insurance carriers, hospital administrators, lawyers etc (eg whether to deliver breeches by vagina at all etc). Why is it, by the way, that the US perinatal mortality is higher then in other comparable countries such as Canada, UK and Germany?

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.
