[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i worked with her, and i worked with Slone and associates..... she took too many risks at home knowing that the consequences and yes i am sure tmedical staff reported her because after SHE FAILED at home, she brought her pts in with the baby's on the brink of death... then her pts get mad when you have to do things like administer oxygen (because they cant do skin to skin) an i mostly blamed her for this because @ mercy, we heard about the education her pts received and instead of covering all the risks, they talk about the nurses and doctors like they were anti- birthplans and horrible at what they do. We see the worst case scenerio, we see the babies who show decline in status and die (so you can have your plan fulfilled). I am not against what she does but educate your pts and prepare them to be flexible when things do not appear safe. I will never forget the father screaming and spitting in my face as i stimulated his baby (who ended up being a full code and is no attempt to breath during the first minute) his words were "STOP WIPING OFF THE VERNIX,,, SHE SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED SHE DID NOT WNT THE VERNIX WIPED OFF" no you idiot ... stimulation and drying is the first and most natural way too attempt to resuscitate a baby... things like that piss me off. go deliver in an ocean and keep making excuses for her but she was unsafe and in my opinion to educated to prioritize the "unsafe" wishes in a plan ahead of a baby's safety. My mother a complete breech delivery of my older sister (1st born) and lost her 3rd baby (All born in a 3rd world country where 90% of baby's are born at home but we have the highest maternal morbidity and mortality rate)... there are risks and they should be acknowledged and planned for as best as possible. Dont take a birthing class and think you know more than those who have studied this inside out for years[/quote]

You sound like a nutcase.  Are you saying you were one of the nurses at the delivery of one of Evelyn's transport patients?  Don't you think what you are yelling about here could be considered a HIPAA violation?  Not only are you are ranting like a lunatic, you sound like you do not understand very much about modern homebirth midwifery or the families that choose it.    [/quote]
