  • To that PROUD Anonymous Woman who has the audacity to defy authority

    You said:

    "Hit a nerve did I? LOL. I am not defying authority, because those like you who are supposed to take up that title have abandoned your responsibility, leaving people like me in the lurch and having to read and make ourselves our own authority—but who cares?"

    Dr. Amy obviously does. Dangit, she cares! She spent all last week debating me over at the NHS Blog doctors uc birth post.

    Read the comment section http://www.haloscan.com/comments/drcrippen/2029178939062274389/ not only are we UC Moms not allowed to give birth alone...we are not even allowed to be in on the debate!!!

    I've come up with an analogy to this birth debate she so passionately defends with her stats, charts, studies, and FACTS, likening it to marriage.

    I MUST take issue with your cavalier and sarcastic attitude.

    I am an authority on marriage and must set you straight.

    Did you know that over 50% of marriages in America end in divorce?

    I have compelling statistics that prove marriage is damaging to a womans financial stability, children are a pain in the butt, and home making is only for the stupid dolts in our society who have nothing better to do with their time.

    And here you have the gall to think that you could be one of the women who can actually get married and endure it to the bitter end?

    How dare you!!

    Don't you know that marriage is a risky business, damaging to women, and I won't even go into the divorce that is sure to follow, complete and total devastation.

    How dare you think that you, you proud woman, could ever have a successful marriage, especially without any professional marriage couseling and help?

    The stats are against you having any sort of success, everyone knows that Americans are just too selfish to make it work properly, so just give it up....now, stay single."

    Thus sayeth the all knowing master of statistics and facts, Amy MD"

  • We all know Dr. Amy is a Party Pooper, but is she a fraud too?

    Dr. Amy,

    I've noticed that you don't have any pictures up on your three blogs. You also have no video, and rarely if ever, talk about your family.

    You don't talk like a real woman. I have had contact with hundreds of women in my circle of life. Friends, my eleven sisters and sisters in law, those who took my childbirth class, and fellow Bradley Teachers etc etc.... And you don't express yourself like a real woman.

    You are a caricature of a person spewing the party line over and over and over in the various places you post and write and defend to the death the obstetrical model of birth.

    You know who I think you are?

    I think you are four Public Relations dudes from Eli Lilly set up as a blogger to defend the staus quo on the web.

    It is up to you to prove that you are real. Post a video of yourself on You Tube. And while you are at it, let us see your birth certificate and credentials in that video.

    The thing about the web is, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but if you are a blogger fraud, you will be found out.

    Times up DR. AMY, the onus is on you. Prove that you are real. DO IT NOW, and do not write one more word against home birth until you do.

    The Reuters UC Birth article is up. http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSL2148514320070522

    You are swimming against a flood of evidence based birth practices and I believe it is simply time for you to go away.

  • Oh, and for true credibility get a couple of witnesses too.

    Oh, and Dr. Amy,

    get a couple of people who have known you from birth, you know, maybe your mom, or your grandma or a neighbor, and include them in that video testifying that you are a doctor, and went to harvard.

    Do it today. Now.

    I posted a you tube video of myself up on my blog yesterday. It took about five minutes of my time.

    Five minutes to prove to the world that Dr. Amy is legit.

    Can you do it?

    Jenny Hatch

    PS You can Probably prove it about as well as Dr. Critten can prove he is just one lone doctor blogging for the status quo in the UK. I'm thinking he is six or seven PR dudes shilling for big pharma. Do you know what that is called?

    Pharmaceutical whoring.
