I do not intend to answer for Bob, however you got it fairly right. You can get informed consent for a procedure with proper medical indications. It continues to be correct that a person (patient) can NOT give consent for malpractice to be willfully practiced on him/her. Can not consent to a surgery with no medical indications. The answer to cesarean section on demand, that is a primary one, has nothing to do with the day and hour of it, nor millenium or not, but has to do with medical practice, physician responsibility where you can not cut people up simply because they want. They can cut themselves up if they desire, but you as a physician can not. 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.
