To me it seems that the difference between plastic surgery and obstetrics is
that the risks of surgery are in different dimensions. Even a breast
enlargement or reduction doesn't carry the risks of an elective caesar. The
trouble is that at present there have been voices telling people that there are
no or little risks and that it is the patient's right to choose. I only give
the patient the right to choose when I think the risks and benefits are equal
for the two procedures. I think it is my job as a specialist to weigh up those
risks and benefits and present them as clearly as possible.

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
