Well then Dr.Klein... we SHOULD have met nine years ago when I was having (or trying to have) my first baby, BEGGING for a "trial of labor" with my breech baby. I was 8 cms with my 7 poundish baby when my doctor told me I was going to kill my baby if I did not give in to allowing him to save me. I was complete when the normal tar-mec came out like toothpaste..... My doctor said "This is meconium! Your baby is in big trouble! I knew I should have pushed for that court order!" And stomped out of the room. What a refreshing face yours would have been to see that day.. I gave in and had the section. The doctor retired withen a year later, but not before firing me as a patient. What a three ring circus that was. :-) Bridgett....Midwife in Michigan

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.
