It would however help if these Moos would stop making childbirth all about them and think of the baby for a complete and absolute change.

Caroline Malatesta was 32 years old and halfway through the pregnancy of her fourth child when she made a seemingly radical move: She switched hospitals, lured from one that had taken a typically medicalized approach to her three previous births — requiring that she labor on her back, feet in stirrups, with epidurals and episiotomies — to one that used a splashy new marketing campaign to offer women “autonomy,” birthing tubs, cushy suites, and the honoring of any “personalized birth plan.”
But what Malatesta, pictured above, experienced the night she gave birth to her son at Brookwood Medical Center in Birmingham, Ala., in 2012 could not have been further from the soothing, empowering picture the hospital had promised in its ads.
Instead, she tells Yahoo Parenting, she was met with aggressive medical interventions that left her disempowered, permanently injured, and psychologically traumatized. Now she’s in the midst of a lawsuit against the hospital and its huge parent corporation, Tenet Health

I am sure Tenet Health isn't the only one pushing the whole "We will help you experience the empowerment of giving birth and become a member of the ever-growing Fertility Cult(TM) in the USA."

Its possible the "aggressive interventions" might have been, for some reason, necessary in her case and so they had to break from the "soothing" protocol that might have happened had she not had a problem. They probably did not have time to inform her if for example the baby was "stuck in there". Besides, doesn't she know most ads for anything are an exaggeration? She would if she watched "Mad Men."

I hate to say it, but I'm going to side with the moo on this one, only because the advertising promised something the hospital didn't deliver. The government has been cracking down on healthcare providers making promises in advertising that they can't back up. I would see the need for deviating from Moo's wishes if the baby was in peril but it seemed like a pretty normal loafing, only the nurses appeared to be total Nazis and the doctor was nowhere to be found. Having said that, she should only get her hospital expenses refunded because pain and suffering goes hand-in-hand with loafing. The kid's healthy, isn't that reward enough?

And they should crack down. It's healthcare not a damm maul. Problem is hospitals are being run by MBA's trained to sell consumer goods. Want to fix health care - fire the money people.

If you're having surgery or birthing a kid, you go to a HOSPITAL.
If you want to be pampered, you go to a RESORT HOTEL.

Just another problem caused by the child and pregnancy worshiping culture we have in the USA. If someone had good luck with another doctor and/or hospital, why not stick with what works?
