Re: "Chaparone" To have or not to have?

Next in thread: R.Daniel Braun, MD FACOG: "(no subject)" Reply: R.Daniel Braun, MD FACOG: "(no subject)" My practice consists of 4 female providers, including myself. None of us use a chaperone. Part of the reason is practical because we have residents who rotate through our clinic and they are required to have a chaperone. They also require much more actual assistance (lots of good stories here folks, "Uh, Doctor, it goes the other way"). We only have 4 MAs so there just isn't enough to go around. There are days like last Thurs that I did 8 pelvic exams from 10-3, if I had dragged the MA with me she would have been prohibited from performing her other duties and it would have created a bottle neck. Anyway, I only take in an assistant if 1) I sense I should. and I have pretty good radar 2)It looks like it may be a difficult exam for whatever reason. I amaze myself with my dexterity - I can take covers of things and unscrew things and unwrap things all with one hand if need be. Another thing: I know almost all of my patients wery well, even a 1st OBV is likely to be a patient I've cared for in my family practice. Very seldom do I have a patient that I don't know or hasn't been referred by a girlfriend. Maybe I'll get burned one day, but for now its the way it is. -- Deborah Wage,MSN,FNP,CNM Next message: AGrunebaum@aol.com: "Re: "Chaparone" To have or not to have?"

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.
