Patients give us birth plans and tell us what they want and we accomodate. They tell us when to do C-sections and when not to. I wonder if the cardiac surgeons and the neurosurgeons have the same problems with patients telling them how to do their jobs.

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.
