Eugene Long: Hospitals, docs like c-sections births because of the money

Some women can not deliver a child safely by vaginal birth! I am one. Had my wonderful OBGYN not immediately determined that my daughter was not going to deliver, both she and I would have died! As it is, it is a true miracle that she was not born with severe disabilities. Instead she was an honor student in both high school and college with a successful career today! When the time came to deliver my son, my doctors ALL determined at a C section was a necessity! And also that he would be my last child.

Perhaps, you Doctor Long ( and I use the term DOCTOR loosely) should go back to school and retake Baby Delivery 101. Also, have you thought that perhaps most mothers are living through child birth BECAUSE of C Sections not in-spite of them? Women who have good insurance are more apt to get better maternity care…including C Sections…than women with little to no insurance. Poor women in the South, especially those of color, have a higher rate of maternal mortality than Northern women who have a higher rate of insurance. (It is mostly those RED states that are so anti abortion that have high rates if maternal deaths. I would suggest that it is a form of abortion…but instead of killing a “child” they go a step further snd kill the woman also …two birds with

one stone?)

It is evident from your previous writings that you hold women in very low esteem. I am glad you were never my doctor. And I hope you are no longer practicing medicine. God help any woman who has had any medical contact with you!

Personally, I am a proponent of birth in reverse.

There exist people who need to crawl back in and incubate further. Have you considered that some women prefer a c section to a vaginal birth? Have you considered that you are not in a position to speak to something you cannot yourself accomplish? Thanks, but take up knitting for a hobby.
