The midwife that I trained with has attended MANY women with infibulation in out of hospital settings. These women have many deep rooted issues surrounding their womaness due to the trauma of the mutilation, and for many of them, allowing a man (or woman) with a knife in his/her hand near her bottom is not an option. (Deborah, email me privatly and I will put you in touch with her if you wish.) So I have to ask Dr.Sanchez-Ramos, what is it exactly that you feel makes these women high risk?

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.
