[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors who don't follow the standards of care are opening themselves up to lawsuits. Being informed about risks vs benefits does not eliminate their risk of a lawsuit. [/quote] And so the big question is -- why do we put up with sub-standard or potentially harmful care just to accommodate an OBs fear of a possible law suit? Ladies, these are OUR bodies and OUR babies. You have the right to informed consent - AND to informed refusal. I challenge all of you to simply say "thank you nurse/doctor for the information. You may write in my chart that I have declined. Thank you." and take a big bite of your snickers/pineapple/pasta/whatever you want.[/quote]
