[quote=Anonymous]Its not a HIPAA violation unless she attaches a person's name or personally identifiable information to it.

And, she doesn't sound like a nutcase, she sounds like someone for whom English is possibly a second language but her logic is pretty clear here.

Homebirth advocates have a very serious blindspot in that they insist on sweeping bad birth outcomes under the rug. Its all about "trust birth" as if the very real suffering past and present of women whose bodies are supposedly made for birthing are just anomalies. Calling people who speak a negative opinion crazy doesn't change that history. Doesn't change the latest research on apgar scores or seizure risks being respectively lower and higher for home births either. Doesn't change some of the very real bad stories out there.

Simply put: the woman took risks. People who believed in her paid a price for that. Frankly, I think shoddy midwives should face the same risks that shoddy obs or crappy dentists do, sue them into the ground and publicize their mistakes, revoke licenses, jail time for the grossly negligent.
