Re: 13 year old in the OR for C-secFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comMon Mar 18 07:41:38 1996
<<None of the OR nursing staff are comfortable with a 13 year old observer and I am not either. The patient says she is going to go 25 miles down the road to the next hospital (where she delivered previously). She's getting her prenatal care by one of the family physicians and so now it appears I've lost him a patient also.>> With the current concept of the "patient as consumer", you've got to ask yourself, is your discomfort worth losing an "account" over, or not. With the "archaic" concept of the "patient as a patient", you've got to ask yourself, does your pledge to care for this patient and her family include (or balance with) your medical "discomfort" about having an extra (and young) observer in a c/s room (and the attendent infection risks, blah, blah, blah). Depends on how you look at it and how deep you look at it. ************************************************* doctorjoe@aol.com "All things are connected.

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.
