he did it more than just once, and he's not the only one. there are lawyers just like him all over the country that do this.
not true. the ob/gyn's i know, (and i know several of them and conversations about this stuff come up quite often) are in the military. their pay is the same whether they do a c-section or not. they still have to protect themselves legally. more often than you will admit, decisions are made based on liability issue instead of medical necessity. these thing drive up the cost of healthcare.
i do believe that doctors who operate outside stanard of care should be held accountable. the probelm comes when the plantiff provides an expert that says standard of care was not met, the defense provides an an expert that says standard of care was met, and a judge or jury has to look at a 4,5, or 6 year old child with cerebral palsey (that's how long these things take) and figure out who's telling the truth.
what you fail to understand is that childbirth, and many other medical procedures are dangerous. sometimes you can do everything right and it still goes to shit. there's nothing wrong with holding the doctor accountable if he or she does something outside standard of care, but the attitude that things went to shit so its the doctor's fault doesn't solve anything.
