Re: There but for the grace of God go I . . .From: mborn (morn@massmed.org)Sun Apr 28 20:13:52 1996
In this day and age all that you can do is your best. If the patient has been counciled about the risks and for laparoscopy I use a seperate consent form you should not worry. However most of the suits for malpractice are maloccurences, maybe maloccurence is a bad word, they are the events that will happen in the best of hands useing the best skills known. they are the outliers on the normal gausseian curve. A friend of mine served on a malpractice tribuanal with the same scenario. It was voted 2 to 1 to allows the case to proceede, why because some expert said it was malpractice. I agree with you if you operate enough shit happens, those that say this complication could have been prevented probable has not done enough surgery. There are definite cases that are malpractice and should not happen. right now in massachusetts the majority of verticts are for the defense. But the LAwyers win enough large dollar cases to keep going. My thoughts p.s. I have beeen doing laparoscopy for about 23 years now and I still worry and think about what I did or are doing. But I keep on going Myer

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.
