Dear Obgyn's on the list,

Please help us (women) with this one...I always was of the belief, first as a patient and then as a nurse, that ruptured membranes ment,Go To the Hospital Now!!!Infection rate HIGH!!! Has all this changed since managed care??? Is it really true that its NOT a big deal anymore???

We need your opinions as physicans on This One...I guess soon we can shut down all the hospitals and care for Ourselves as Nothing will need hospitalization!!!

Thanks,
