and it just occurred to me, that's pretty awesome considering many midwife patients who are higher-risk are transferred there. or maybe those are the same patients really trying to avoid a C- even though they are high risk?
i also wonder what the rate of insurance coverage has to do with the # of C-sections the OBs perform. do you think that the OB population going to GW has crappier insuranc and thus the docs try harder to avoid for finanical reasons?
Excellent questions.
Anyone care to speculate?
What is their rate?

They think they're imaginary? Or, like the Polar Express, they cannot hear the bell ring?
Of course European obs believe in c-sections, and do them. Just not as quickly, maybe.
They understand the consequences better than we do, of unnecessary C-sections.
