Hey Dan!

I think we've hit on something big here. I see lots of patients with "placenta previa" in the second trimester who don't have placenta previa at term. Based on your law suit, the only conclusion I can come to is that the sound waves caused the placenta to move out of the lower uterine segment. Hence, 2nd trimester ultrasound as prophylaxis for placenta previa. Do you think the gray journal would take that one?

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.
