Yeah, but did it have SUGAR in it???

The poor mom who posted that webpage about shoulder dystocia admits to being morbidly obese and therefore at risk for numerous things. It's interesting (and I'm saying this in general, not about her specifically) that many problems we doctors (and midwives) get blasted for are ultimately the PATIENT'S own doing. We end up playing catch up, being behind the 8-ball, fighting against a handicap, etc, etc.

On the other hand, if someone comes in and gives you the 3rd degree about shoulder dystocia and risk factors and Erb's palsy, simply schedule their elective c/s at 39-40 weeks and go about your business.

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.
