That sort of comment can be taken to politicians and the media if desired: that a professional would use blackmail and/or defamatory comments to sway your choice.  It adds to Jenny Gambles comments about OB’s defaming midwives and midwifery and the shit you would get in if you said it about their profession!  You could even write to the college of OBs to complain although there would be little they would/could do nut the state and federal health ministers would not be able to ignore it.  Not what you want to do when you’re pregnant but if you do act it might stop it from happening to someone else.

Cheers

Jo

There are a couple more concerns Joh.  Is your obstetrician being anticompetitive or even defamatory?  Just worth thinking about.

 

Warm regards,   Robyn

Dear Joh,

Who is this Ob working for? Is he keeping your best interests at heart? Is he breaking his Hippocratic Oath (if he still makes such a thing?) that states he has "To keep the good of the patient as the highest priority?"

I think it's time to get another obstetrician, if you need one.

Best of luck with your birth,

David

I agree, after just being told by the obs that he would not see me if I continued with my independant midwife - to protect himself from potential litigation - I needed to read this and be reaffirmed that I am in control! Thanks




Living in hope
