Mod -80 – on the other hand there are some terrible unnecessary things that go on with hospital births. for now the best answer is a compromise. a birthing center that is truly understanding of the process, a midwife directed birth, or an ob who has some sense,...
I know you’re a physician and I’m just a student, but what area are you trained in? It sounds like you’re in peds. Doing my OB rotation, not that long ago, I tend to differ on your opinion. Most unnecessary, and I mean Most, is caused by the patient, not the doctor. We live in a society of immediate satisfaction/gratification. There are patients who tell the OB -schedule my C-section on Thurs. because on Wed. I have my hairdresser appt. and on Fri. nite I have to be at this party and so on. These cases of unnecessary procedures have nothing to do with the provider; maybe once upon a time things were different. My mother told me when she delivered, the standard procedure was you put the mother to sleep and when she woke up -you already had the kid.
