[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]How is the malpractice litigation in the UK? Can you sue your doctor for several million dollars if something goes wrong? Here in the US they are liable up to their eyeballs. Hence the over cautious approach to many things. Including strapping.

We have free government healthcare on the NHS and most people have both home and hospital births on the NHS.

you lost me at free healthcare.  All this is relevant how?[/quote]
I mean that in the UK our NHS is run by the government and there are guidelines in place that every NHS hospital in the UK has to follow.This also extends to private hospitals. Strapping patients down to operating tables is not a practice carried out in the UK.
One leading UK childbirth Group AIMS confirmed that they are also in contact with many midwives and moms in the UK as well as informed of the hospital practices and none of the women in the UK had ever had this happened to them. That is no woman in the UK has ever been restrained or strapped down during surgery or C Section. Aims also said that such as action would be assault and those involved would be sent to prison. Which I think means that form of restraint as well as being illegal in the UK is also socially unacceptable.[/quote]
