As far as mother nature taking its course on retained products of conception,that depends on the condition of the patient (temp, hemoglobin-hematocrit level and her resumption of menstration). There have been cases of pregnancies associated with dead fetues not expelled naturally only to be detected later in life - so nature does not always takes its course. -- T.Kavic, M.D., RVT,RDCS,RDMS >----- Original Message ----- From: "Joanne Tatzber" <jmsmed58@hotmail.com> To: "Multiple recipients of list ULTRASOUND" <ultrasound@dns.obgyn.net> Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 12:50 AM Subject: Re: Post Partum D and C's for retained placenta- ultrasound resul t > Tom > > Thanks for your reply.

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.
