To those who think it's fine to sue if you do the birth your way and then things go wrong when you can't get medical care in time....Here's the bottom line, if you sue you are putting another nail in the coffin of OBGYN.

Who is going to deliver your grandchildren? OBs are leaving the profession or going just GYN and few med students want to be OBs. There are cases where a lawsuit is reasonable, but in many cases people do what they want, against the advice of many physicians, and they claim to understand the risks...until it affects them. They act self-richeous about their choices as though home birth, birthing center or VBac or what have you is the better and more educated way to do things and they defend it as the best choice until things go wrong and we all pay the consequences of more expensive health care.

You can tell me homebirth is safer than hospital birth if you like or birthing centers are better or whatever. but if you chose these alternative methods you also need to assume you will not get medical care as fast as those in the hospital.[/quote]
