Geoff,

Yes,

This is a fascinating case. This woman needs powerful healing of a sort which high-tech. medicine cannot supply. She requires great compassion. There needs to be some counseling done with her which informs her of all her risks and allows her to make the choices herself. I would love to meet her and understand what she decides and why she decides it. I will be out there (at Baylor on May 16), if she makes it till then...

My major thought is that your outstanding genetics division, perhaps Art Beaudet himself, could supply the needed counseling intervention.

Good luck with a difficult, perplexing and incredibly humanizing (in the sense of pointing out all of our frailties) case.

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.
