Re: Is this legal?From: Susan (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 31 Mar 1999 11:56:02 -0600 (CST)
>I don't see anything illegal about it. The OB is just trying to psych up her patients. She's not PROMISING that head-pelvis disproportion won't happen, but she's just making the presumption that the woman will >be able to push out her baby. And in 98% of her patients, that is the case. > >Now, if she were putting lives in jeapordy to maintain her 98% record, that would be a malpractice suit waiting to happen. But that doesn't seem to be what you are asking. > >&& Isn't that considered w/holding information? Of the 98% that delivered vaginally, there may have been subsequent damage to the patients..there are a multitude of disorders that may occur because of the stress to the pelvic region. May I ask if there are lawyers who practice primarily with medical issue as there are those that deal with other specialties? I would imagine there are a lot of subtleties and that it's easy to determine what's 'legal' and what is not. May I also put in my brief opinion that I don't believe women are merely children who must be told what they want to here. When having children, or dealing with the every day world, all people should be given the common courtesty of being treated as intelligent individuals and having the ability to decide some matters on their. I think if each person reflected upon this, they might reconsider how others are manipulated because another person 'thought' they knew what was best for them. Thank you, Susan (on other thing, I believe if a physician 'tells' his/her patient that everything is fine, then an 'implied' promise is made. Semantics isn't something that would hold up in court would it?)
