>Dr. Falcao Dear Dr. Chase and list, I cannot speak for everyone, but, I became a consumer when I realized that the treatment that I was recieving during my first pregnancy, was for the doctor and not me. The unnecessary ceserean section that I got in the end, was the straw that broke the camels back. I became pregnant again, and started looking for a care provider. I asked a lot of questions. What is your epiz rate? What is your C-section rate? VBAC rate. Would I be allowed to eat and drink during labor? And so on.. A few told me that I would have to have an episiotomy. Just because. Some said that I would need another C-section. This WAS NOT OK with me. I was forced to become a consumer. I birthed out of the hospital with a midwife with no tearing. So.. I did not need the C-section, I did not need the episiotomy... All as a result of being a good consumer. I understand that many parts of the U.S, mostly the western states, are much more progressive in submitting to consumer demand.? Does anyone else have any thoughts on this issue? Sincerely, Bridgett Ciupka The Birth Center Dearborn MI 48126

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.
