Re: 350+From: Arthur W. Curtis, Jr. (artcurtis@juno.com)Sat Oct 25 11:28:36 1997
I forget why I posted that trick to weigh very heavy patients on a normal balance beam scale a long time ago, but here it is again. 1. Weigh yourself 2. Tape a stethoscope on the pointer end of the beam outside the box so it swings freely. 3. Weigh yourself again. You will now weigh anywhere from 60 to 100+ pounds lighter. 4. Weigh the patient with the scope still attached. If she is still off scale, redo # 1 and 2 using a heavier scope. 5. Add the difference between your two weights to the weight indicated for the patient. This will be her actual weight.

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.
