“Sometimes, I also wonder why the numerous other medical professionals (nurse, midwife, obstetrics resident) who were in the room when this took place did not say anything. All of them were women, and all of them--except the midwife--were outranked by the attending physician. It was not their fault that he violated the consent process. However, I wish I'd had an outspoken ally in the room. I wish someone had said something. This makes me wonder about the need for much wider education--indeed, for a major culture shift--in reproductive medicine.”
“The next day, 2 Midwives from the practice came and recommended we take the baby to the hospital for an examination. We asked why? They could not give a reason. Later that evening, 2 CAS workers and 2 police officers came to the house and apprehended the baby. We tried to explain that the midwives were mad because we had not called them for the birth.”
“It took me a long time to get through the emotional and physical pain of my son’s birth after her rough handling. So many people need to come forward to CPSO and speak up against this doctor”
