Yes, that pathological process needs management at every instant. Heaven forbid it should go unmanaged. (A student of DeLee's famous pitchfork, I take it?)

I prefer to decide management issues by what will benefit the patient, not by what I think will keep me from getting sued. Your criterion is, IMHO, a perversion of the correct basis for clinical decision-making. Rationality, evidence, and restraint should be the watch-words--not paranoia.

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.
