Just be careful that in that "mad dash" to the OR you don't injure the person riding the bed with his/her hand holding the head. We have one doc that will never forget how we (the l&d rns) hit his knee on the door as we were flying down the hall to the OR. Thank God it wasn't his hand!

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.
