Is a physician authorized to do a physical examination of a pregnant lady. he does not have a gynaec degree.?

Answer 1

It depends if she authorizes it!! She is the only one who can decide that. And there's no such thing as a gynecological degree--only a medical degree. Gynecology is a specialty, not a degree.

Answer 2

i go to a place called family medicine that has about 4 or 5 doctors. that office years ago used to deliver babies, but beacuse the insurance is so high for them, because of people sueing doctors, they quit doing it. that so sad, i would rather have my family doctor deliver a baby that an OB. so yes, they can give you an examination, they do pap test and everything else, of course they can do an exam to see if you were pg. that would be easy for them.
