Unfortunatly, right after the birth is usually too soon, and time slips away after that. How do others of you deal with the aftermath of a particularly complicated scenario?" I think it is terribly important to deal with clients questions both at the time of delivery, and then to "debrief" the birth after about a week, when questions have had time to percolate to the surface. This applies especially to women with complications or births that didn't meet their expectations for some reason, but also for other women, since you never know who is dissatisfied until you ask. Often, people are not suing their doctors because of malpractice, but because they want to find out what happened. Debriefing the birth helps people come to a conclusion in their minds about what actually happened, and cements the trusting relationship between the provider and the client. Women don't sue doctors they like, even if the care was deficient, but they do sue doctors they don't trust when the outcome is bad, even if the care was excellent. Debra Grubb MD MFM Pasadena CA

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.
