Show Notes:

Today's show is part one of a follow up interview with Dr. Stuart Fischbein.  I brought him back on to talk about vaginal breech birth and how it came to be the normal policy to deliver all breech babies by c-section.  As usual, the conversation with him is full and rich and covers so much more than just breech.  In this first section of our interview you will learn about:

• The cognitive dissonance that physicians must have to be able to work in the current obstetrical model


• The ethics of being a doctor as an employee


• How hospital policy dictates how care is delivered


• How breech was moved from being a normal vaginal delivery to almost exclusively a cesarean birth


• Some history of vaccines in pregnancy


• How research today is unethically formulated


• Unnecessary c-sections


• Errol Norwich's telling statement about nature being a bad obstetrician


• The downstream consequences of unnecessary c-sections, other interventions, testing, and more!
