Re: Abdominal versus vaginal ultrasoundFrom: dahmd@gate.netMon Nov 25 09:26:11 1996

>We do not do Abdominal US on these patients. I completely agree, and having been burned by abdominal (and vaginal) scans done by someone else I always try to do my own scans. The person doing the pelvic exam can correlate this with the ultrasound findings. We cover an academic and private practice, and sometimes a patient will show up in the ER and have a workup done before the ER doctors realize that she is "our" patient. In these cases, I usually have the patient brought to the women's unit where I perform my own vaginal ultrasound. This causes no small amount of consternation from the ER doctors and radiology staff. Usually this is a free scan, since what insurance company will pay for an abdominal and vaginal ultrasound (by the radiologists), and then *another* vaginal ultrasound by me? It is really priceless, however, since it makes my decision-making easier. Thanks, Ashley D. Ashley Hill, M.D. dahmd@gate.net Orlando, FL

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.
