Ah, yes... Coming in in the morning for check-out..

"We have a 42 y/o G6P5 with 5 prior cesareans. Four are documented low transverse. We couldn't document one one them. They were all for CPD at term, so we figured it must have been a low transverse incision.. Anyway, she is 42 weeks and the baby might be a little big.. Well, it scans to 4300g. Oh, forgot to tell you, she is breech. We convinced her she should get a trial of labor. Well, have a nice day. I am going home to bed.."

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.
