>But Ashley, if that Dr. realized he was uncomfortable to the extent he Gordon- A valid point, but in some situations, particularly emergencies, physicians have to "suck it up" and do their job despite biases. I can think of some situations where a health care provider may not wish to continue in the therapeutic relationship. For example, let's say you were seeing a patient in the office and realized you were developing feelings that extended further than the doctor:patient relationship. It would be appropriate to discontinue the professional relationship and transfer care to someone else. In the situation I described, of a lesbian patient and a doctor uncomfortable with treating her, the patient was in active labor. If my partners had not been around, the doctor would have had to try her hardest to put aside her bias and treat the patient in the most professional manner possible.

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.
