[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax is likely to have some the highest c-section patients because that's where the high risk people go. I had a zillion complications and that's where my doctor put me so that whatever happened, we'd already be in the place where we would ultimately need to end up of something didn't go well, rather than have to transfer in. It's a bit of a factory. But it also has all the specialties and wards right there. It was 72 hours out of my life (for that time - I had been there for a long time for the initial admit) and I just don't get the whole fixation on "birth experience". I'm five years out and I hardly remember anything.[/quote] It is true that some of the csection rate can be attributed to their NICU attracting high risk and preemie moms. Reston Hospital has a similar csection rate that reflects more poorly on them, because they are just a regular hospital, without the excuse of a high-level NICU. However, there is no denying that the hospital trends towards highly medicalized routines, and the vast majority of their births will be subject to such routines. I've seen "old school" procedures there that are almost never seen elsewhere.[/quote]
