Ep 46: Changing the Culture of Hospital-Based Birth

SPECIAL EPISODE - Interview w/ Hermine Hayes-Klein, JD, and Brad Bootstaylor, MD, FACOG
In this episode, we'll be discussing the problematic culture of hospital-based birth. We explore the physician-patient relationship, the responsibilities that come with the rights to informed consent and refusal of treatment, and how supercomputers in the hands of our patients have enabled them to view us as the enemy, and vice-versa. Most importantly, we discuss ways in which we may all begin to mend the physician-patient relationship in order to redirect the culture of hospital-based birth.
