A patient can "consent" to medical alternatives but cannot "consent" to simply be cut. This has nothing to do with apples or oranges. You are NOT presenting a primary elective cesarean on demand as an alternative or indication, so there is nothing to conset. If anybody would have to consent in the original question, it would be the physician who would have to "consent" to her request. Efrain, I have NO idea if you can be prosecuted. As you well know, I am not (nor do I wish to ever become) a lawyer. I am simply an obstetrician and gynecologist. But I suspect that you would never be processed criminally for that. After all, what people are interested is in your money, not you. So, if anything, you would be sued for money, of course, which is what makes the world go round??? Carlos

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.
