Re: malpractice and harms wayFrom: ATFSOCCER@aol.comTue Oct 7 21:50:29 1997
In a message dated 97-10-06 15:36:02 EDT, you write: << Bob I'm happy to here that there is at least one state in the U.S. where the court system works perfectly. Some state i.e. FL do require a physician review a case before it can be taken to court to show there is been harm done; however, at least in Georgia there is no review process. And yes Virginia, a obstetrician can be successfully sued without deviating from the standard of care. By the way Bowes studies showed less maternal trauma and equivical delivery results, but a high number of failures. No group I don't have the study at my desk, if you are interested look it up yourself. Brick Bills M.D >> Ohio and Michigan malpractice law is in agreement with Bob's statement: One needs to show injury, a duty to the patient, breach of the standard of care and causation. ( ie breach led to the injury) . Without all 4 being shown, there is no malpractice. Andy Folley MD FACOG Toledo OH

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.
