You are right in a way, so I had no choice but to treat the patient :-)-O BTW, just came back from a G4P3M0 at term who had walked 5 km from her house to the hospital (we have an ambulance service) and was fully dilated on arrival, with a breech presentation. When I arrived from home I was greeted by a foot. Poor contractions not the best maternal effort. So I augmented her with Pitocin, once that kicked in she pushed out the torso until the chest then the contraction stopped. You could see the sweat building up on Sister's and my foreheads :-)-O but the cord still pulsated. Two minutes (felt like two hours later) she had another contraction and pushed well so I could free the posterior arm, then the anterior arm also easily. Then a Veit-Smellie and lots of Meconium everywhere. Apgar of 7/10-10/10. el -- Dr. Eberhard W.

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.
