I may be remembering incorrectly, but I believe Deborah said that this woman was an undocumented alien. Here in California recent legislation has been enacted which will prohibit low-income undocumented women from receiving state-funded medical services except in emergency situations. In other words, no prenatal care, but hospitals must accept them when they show up in labor. Is this the situation where you're practicing Deborah? How did you come to be giving prenatal care to this patient?

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.
