Lynn:

I really don't find too many people with 8 to 11 week missed Abs, most of whom present with spotting, who wish to wait for spontaneous passage and the possibility of needing a D and C, as well as heavy bleeding, cramping, and waiting for tissue to pass. I admit I may bias the patients in favor of D and C. How do you convice private patients to not have a D and C?

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.
