Re: Policy re: Fetal genderFrom: Sally Casagrande (sallyj@jps.net)Sat Sep 11 15:58:57 1999
It bothers me that many sonographers are being put on the spot for something as trivial as the sex of the baby. I had a case that the parents were very instant that they be told the sex, no question about well being, unfortunately this baby had no kidneys. Should I have made them happy about the sex only to visit their doctor and be told their baby was not compatible with life? We usually tell the sex if parents ask and if we are 99% sure, however we always make sure they know nothing is guaranteed, and always put a question mark when we label their picture of the sex. Unfortunately I think this is one of the reasons' we are not taken seriously in our work, too many people consider ultrasounds as only important for getting a picture of their baby, and not as a true diagnostic study.

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.
