Re: Circs - Peds or OB? (no politics please...)From: Hugo D. Ribot Jr. (hribot@mindspring.com)Mon Mar 30 19:18:06 1998
At our hospital (small community hospital, 900+ deliveries/yr) us obstetricians do the circs. When I came in '90 the urologist and one of the 2 pediatricians were doing them, but when the GU doc decided to quit, the pediapod quit too. Where I trained (Grady hospital in Atlanta) we did hundreds, using the trusty Mogen clamp. In fact, when I resumed doing them in private practice, the hospital initially had only Gomco clamps (how bloody and cumbersome!) and I procured some Mogens, and all the other ob docs switched over. Our pediatricians don't do anything more surgical than a UAC. It's the old "you shouldn't be doing them if you can't deal with the potential surgical complications" thing, as The Man says.

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.
