“I’m Gonna Cut Her Because She’s An A$$hole.”
“I’m gonna cut her (referring to a cesarean) because she’s an a$$hole.” – OB to nurses after walking out of a laboring woman’s room.
Wait, if one of my clients is being an @$$h0!e I can literally cut them?? Great, because I deal with a LOT of unreasonable people!
Oh wait, I’m not a doctor, so I would loose my job and wind up in jail. . . . . . .

Just fyi, I have never really wanted to cut or harm people and I have been yelled at and called every dirty name in the book.

LOL! No, I got your point
if EVERYONE in any profession cut people who were @$$h0!es, they’d lose their jobs, get jail time…etc. S

Working retail I have dealt with all manner of unreasonable people, and have at times wished them harm (I’m human) BUT there is a difference and I would NEVER act upon those thoughts. Megalomanic much?

Question for the nurses here — is there a section in your forms for maternal ass-holery as a c-section indication?

My question for the nurses is how long did it take them to call security to remove this doctor from the hospital for the day and who do they call after that to remove this doctor permanently? I would want anyone who heard such a thing to bar the door and find a new doctor for me and then have this one put in the time out chair until he/she competed a psych evaluation. I wonder if you could get him/her committed for 24 hours in the local psych ward for threatening to harm another person?

I find myself torn between hoping it wasn’t the mom who submitted this (because bad enough she had to have the unwanted c/s, but to know it was because the doctor was getting back at her would make it suck more) and hoping the mom submitted it.
Either way, OP, I hope you reported the real @ssh0le (which wasn’t the mom)

This is what I am so afraid of!! After having a horrible experience in labor and delivery last saturday, I walked out. YES, without consent!!! I’m so afraid if I chose to go back the treatment I receive will be unfair and result in a c-section all because I stood up for me and my baby!
[Reply]
Same here, Rebecca — or at least, if the nurse submitted it, that she wrote in the notes that the c-section was due to physician error rather than something wrong with the baby or mom. If the mother didn’t submit a complaint I sure hope the nurse did.

Sociopath.
This sort of thing will only stop when doctors close ranks against those in their number who do or threaten or fantasize about hurting patients. Unfortunately, doctors generally don’t enforce such standards on their own and are far more likely to excuse such behavior than run the perpetrators out of the profession.

I am a nursing student and I heard the OB say this after she left the patient’s room. I told my supervisor and filed complaint with the hospital. The mother (young, single, person of color, no father in the picture, supported by her sister) never heard the comment, and she had a cesarean (a fellow nursing student of mine was there with her). So crazy.

Yikes. Good for you for filing a complaint – I know that speaking up is not always easy for nurses to do, particularly students.

Wow, so the hospital knew (from your complaint) that the OB made this threat, and they STILL let her operate on the patient? Very negligent of them.

An episiotomy is not that bad…. it’s worse if you rip which is not uncommon. An episiotomy cannot be compared with a C Section which is major surgery. Women should be making an informed decision when opting for an episiotomy.

Actually tearing on your own is better because it doesn’t tend to be as bad and is alot easier to heal from. They cut me when I was trying to get my daughters shoulders out and it almost went all the way to my pooper were if they had left it alone it would have been a small tear or some skid marks.

An episiotomy is itself a second-degree laceration, does not make third-degree tears less likely, and noticeably increases the probability of a fourth-degree tear. (Of course, it eliminates the possibility of a first-degree, minor tear, or no tearing at all.) It heals, generally speaking, less well than a second-degree tear that is not deliberately inflicted. In other words, it worsens outcomes for the mother in all cases.
It may be medically indicated in an emergency if the baby is being born, is on the perineum, and must be removed immediately. Needless to say, this situation is rare. In the great majority of cases, episiotomy is performed for no medical reason at all.
It can damage a woman’s ability to have sexual intercourse without pain. It delays her recovery from childbirth. If the OB chooses to inflict a deeper third- or fourth-degree laceration – and some OBs have done this, and the routine practice of episiotomy gives these perverts cover – or if the slash causes a deeper tear, it can require extensive reconstructive surgery to repair completely avoidable, serious damage.
It is a sexual mutilation, deliberately inflicted on a woman at her most vulnerable moment, often over her explicit refusal of the procedure.
Yes, it is that bad.

Just for the record for healing it’s actually better to tear, than to be cut, I’ve had both and if given a option would tear, I healed 3times faster and have half the amount of scare tissue, Ob’s cut fir no reason 90% of the time. I really hope this OB gets fired!!!

Because that is a valid reason to violate someone. Please tell me this @$$hole was reported.
