If you want to get REALLY mad at doctors, start researching birth. Hospital births with doctors vs. home or birthing center births with midwives.
The movie The Business of Being Born is really good. Did you know the U.S. has like the 2nd highest newborn morality rate? It's completely ridiculous!
In more cases than not, births don't need any interventions. But that's what doctors are good at doing, so they do them. They want things to go a certain way and try to force mothers and babies into doing it that way. Obviously there are times when doctors are needed, but for a woman who has had a normal pregnancy, there shouldn't be any reason for there to be a doctor messing about.
I learned my lesson when I was pregnant with Ben. I will never go back to that doctor again. Ever. She sucked and made me doubt my own body. Luckily there are a couple doctors in my area who have midwives on staff. I'll be going to them next time I get knocked up.
