(22,135 posts)If your so goddamn confident in your knowledge go down to your local hospital and tell them you're ready to start practicing OB/GYN. Go ahead. Let us know how that works out.
I've had ingrown toe nails. I'm a fucking podiatrist.
I'll hang my shingle tomorrow and start practicing
Medical professionals made a call in a difficult delivery and had to go legal to protect themselves AND the woman and child. My practicing partner has seen this shit before, but luckily never had to go so far as get a judge involved. The child was at term and viable, thus a person, thus the medical team had to legally AND ETHICALLY take that into account no matter what the mother wanted. This ain't all about her.
This is the same "I had such and such so I can expertly second guess those TRAINED IN THE FUCKING FIELD" shit as the right. Just a different party affiliation.
