Re: Ultrasound--diagnosis or treatment?From: Gunjan Puri (drgap@worldgatein.com)Sat Feb 17 06:38:31 2001
Dear Dr. Ahmad, The patients here too demand us to explain us the report. I personally tell them what I have seen, but simultaneously add that all these findings are to be correlated with clinical examination and lab findings and then a final diagnosis and further management has to be made by the referring consultant or family practioner. Many times there are pateints who want us to give our opinion saying that we must have seen similar cases in the past but I say avoid falling into the discussion with the patient. I have attached a TV monitor opposite the machine, so the patient could see the sonography simultaneously, this I thought gives great confidence to the patient in us especially in antenatal sonogrphy when they are shown the fetal face, hand ,fingers. legs and the beating heart. But very soon I received call from the referring doc that there is no need to educate our patient, write what you see and send the patient. So I had to stop it. Gunjan Puri India

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.
