Avoiding Lawsuits?
So doctors just want to "avoid lawsuits" and that's a bad thing? But a lawsuit doesn't just come out of nowhere. Its existence is predicated on an alleged injury to someone, which in these cases would be the mother, baby, or both. So doctors are bad for wanting to avoid causing injury? Fortunately for my family, we just listened to those bad doctors and my wife gave birth twice via cesarean section to two perfectly healthy children, with no complications for anyone. Looking back, I don't believe their bonds could be any stronger, and taking needless risks in order to have the perfect home birth experience just looks foolish and self-indulgent.
