[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does the home birth have to do with the hospital waiting 2 hrs to give her the c-section?  Two totally different things. [/quote]

If she was in the hospital in the first place, the operating room could have been prepped faster. The staff would have been ready for her.

You take these risks when you attempt home birth. Why would anyone want to do a home birth?!?!?[/quote]

Remind me to make sure to have my car accident or heart attack at a hospital next time; after all, if they wait to treat me, it's my fault for not being there in the first place.[/quote]

It is people who post dumb sh*t like this... I've worked at the Johns Hopkins ER before and like most ER's, patient are prioritized based on severity of illness. ALL OBGYN cases go straight to OBGYN past 12 weeks gestation, that's just protocol.  So your theory is hogwash.  If a car accident is brought in, the ER has trauma bays waiting and ready to asses your needs, ahead of the 80-100 people on average waiting in the waiting room.  People who don't work in healthcare are always the first to think they know, when they don't. If you want to blame anyone for long wait times, go down to the ER and blame all the people who go their instead of primary care or urgent care. [/quote]
