I do realize that sometimes things happen which are beyond the control of a woman or her care providers. In fact, I have been among that minority who had medically complicated births, so I'm hardly unaware of the possibility. Medical intervention in childbirth, when used appropriately, can and does save lives, and I do not dispute that. What I do dispute is the concept that all labors require intervention, or even that most of them do. I don't like the common North American attitude toward birth that it is some sort of medical emergency which must be managed and controlled with all sorts of interventions which can and often do lead to more interventions to combat complications introduced by certain interventions and so on until all the dominoes fall down.
Doctors are human beings who went to medical school.
Some of them have a natural talent and gift for the work, some don't. They may or may not be up to date on the latest research, may or may not support or believe in natural birth as a valid option, may or may not be flexible and willing to help a woman or couple have the kind of birth experience they wish if it goes against the doctor's personal views. This is pefectly normal and perfectly human. Doctors are people, and people have hang-ups and flaws and quirks. I also do not specifically dislike hospitals, and have always chosen to give birth in a hospital setting.
