Dr. Sarah's 30% letter to Tendring (also: the obstetric 'chill pill' - bitter poison for some babies)
Pregnant women: OBs are closing birth canals up to 30% and it is easy to
allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%... See the very end of this post... THE OBSTETRIC 30% "CHILL PILL" - BITTER POISON FOR SOME BABIES Bizarrely, OBs are KEEPING birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30% when babies get stuck. More on the obstetric 30% "chill pill" below. Women do NOT have to take the obstetric 30% "chill pill." DR. SARAH'S 30% LETTER TO TENDRING Tendring Primary Care Trust: Don't miss The Four OB Lies below. Why do women have to ASK for the "extra" up to 30%? Sarah, Tendring may be more inclined to listen to a GP employee. The rubber stamp of a REAL doctor is so important in our culture. Please write to Tendring - emphasize PREVENTION. Urge your fellow GPs to write to Tendring. Your letter could be one sentence ("Dr. Gastaldo is right") - plus The Four OB Lies... THE OBSTETRIC "CHILL PILL" - BITTER POISON FOR SOME BABIES (Lucy recommended a "chill pill" for Todd. : ) See below... Lucy (anyone4tea), from the UK living in the US wrote: "Well said, Sarah." I replied: "I disagree. : )" Lucy now replies... That's fine, Todd, I don't mind disagreements... when they are about trivial things. Then you'll mind my disagreement Lucy. There is nothing trivial about a medical doctor ignoring her fellow medical doctors' lies and remaining silent about her fellow medical doctors closing birth canals up to 30% and keeping birth canals closed when babies get stuck. There is nothing trivial about most women never learning about the "extra" up to 30%. There is nothing trivial about OBs gruesomely wrenching babies' spines - sometimes pulling so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords. There is nothing trivial about women who do learn about having to ASK their OBs or midwives for the "extra" up to 30%. Remember what you wrote about asking, Lucy? You wrote: "I have no intention of asking; this will be my Demand. The doctors ignore my request at their peril." http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...1ba84ccfd9cede Why should you have to Demand? There is nothing trivial about this question from the perspective of babies having their necks wrenched with the birth canal senselessly closed up to 30%. Online communication is a blessing... but a curse when communication is misconstrued. As long as lines of communication remain open, misconstrued communications can be worked out. Sarah ignores OB lies. Says its legal for OBs to lie and close birth canals up to 30% and keep birth canals closed when babies get stuck. Sarah publicly indicated in her "no **** Sherlock" post that even if the OB lies about birth position were exposed - it "wouldn't make a difference to anyone's birth position." (!) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...69babf01124baa Todd, you have some excellent opinions It is not just *opinion* that OBs are lying and closing birth canals up to 30% and keeping them closed when babies get stuck! See The Four OB Lies below. They are OBVIOUS! Sarah's opinion is that this OB behavior is LEGAL - LOL! I say again: Sarah indicates that even if the OB lies about birth position were exposed - it "wouldn't make a difference to anyone's birth position." (!) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...69babf01124baa I have *conceded* that it is legal for OBs to commit the obvious felonies - but only because of the SILENCE of their fellow medical doctors - like Sarah... and many of us applaud your efforts to raise awareness of the issues with which you are concerned. This is heartening. Sarah agrees with you. Sarah DISAGREES with me. Sarah ignores the OB lies. I say yet again: Sarah indicates that even if the OB lies about birth position were exposed - it "wouldn't make a difference to anyone's birth position." (!) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...69babf01124baa Sarah does not think British GPs have any obligation to help stop OBs from causing birth trauma. Nor does Sarah believe that women should be explicitly informed that OBs are lying and closing birth canals up to 30% and keeping them closed when babies get stuck. Sarah aped the anti-science of Sir Iain Chalmers, MD who once told me in effect that we can't start telling women that OBs are lying and closing birth canals until there is SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that it is good to tell women that OBs are lying and closing birth canals! This is blatant anti-science. "It is established obstetric teaching that a narrow pelvic outlet predisposes to a difficult vaginal delivery..." --Ass-Ärztin Dr. Andrea Froschauer-Frudinger et al. [Br J Obstet Gynaecol 2002;109(11):1207-12] OBs themselves indicate that closing the birth canal FAR LESS than 30% can KILL! Sarah does NOT agree with me - yet. If you have agreement with others, you may not wish to turn them off supporting your cause, or you, by going after them after miscommunication. Take a chill pill OK, I will take a chill pill - if Sarah will do her job - the PREVENTION aspect of it. (See the Tendring quote below.) Well, OK, I will take the chill pill even if Sarah doesn't do her job. : ) Do you have any EVIDENCE that chill pills work? : ) Watch out for OBSTETRIC chill pills - they heat you up! LOL! OBs are saying they are allowing birth canals to open maximally - even as they keep birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30%. This birth-canal-closing OB "chill pill" is a bitter poison for some babies. The baby's head in the ACOG birth-canal-closing shoulder dystocia video is DEEP blue. The nice OBs are saying on the video that they are allowing the birth canal to open maximally. But it is a bald lie. They are keeping the birth canal closed. The nice OBs are not **telling** women about the "extra" up to 30%. They are making women ASK for the "extra" up to 30% (when women are lucky enough to learn about it). Even when women ask - they don't always get it! Lucy, you wrote: "I have no intention of asking; this will be my Demand. The doctors ignore my request at their peril." http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...1ba84ccfd9cede Many women end up on their backs inspite of their desire not to be on their backs. Dagny reminded me recently that her *homebirth midwife* kept her on her back and said, "Been reading Todd Gastaldo?" - or words to that effect! MIDWIVES ARE APING MDS - PROMOTING THE BIZARRE BEHAVIOR Yale CNMwifery Prof. Helen Varney ignored my pleas years ago and indicated that "midwives" promote semisitting. Sure enough... Years ago, Midwifery Today editor Jan Tritten cancelled my full-length article on birth-canal-closing/semisitting and in her very next issue PROMOTED birth-canal-closing/semisitting! Ex-doula Jennifer Rosenberg (Jenrose) tried to tell me Jan Tritten agrees with me - LOL! When I pointed out that Jan Tritten STILL promotes birth-canal-closing/semisitting - Jenrose DEFENDED the practice! I called her a "ditz" - I shouldn't have done that but I still don't understand why midwives and an ex-doula are promoting birth-canal-closing/semisitting. Now Jenrose is filtering me. Jenrose just answered Ana's husband Mark on my behalf - "forgetting" to mention to Mark that she recently defended birth-canal-closing - LOL! (It's sordidly funny.) Bizarre, bizarre, bizarre.... Incidentally, an excerpt from what Jenrose wrote to Ana's husband Mark: "[S]emi-sitting and lying on the back...tend to immobilize the pelvis and reduce the pelvic opening significantly. They also tend to move the tailbone inward, further creating space restrictions. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...91c61012824805 I hope Jenrose means that semissitting and lying on the back reduce the pelvic opening significantly because the woman is on her tailbone (sacrum) forcing it inward. Semisitting and lying on the back don't just "tend" to jam the sacral tip into the outlet - they do so with such force that the pelvis is closed the "extra" up to 30%. Then when babies get stuck, OBs routinely KEEP the birth canal closed the "extra" up to 30%. What OBs are doing is "legal" only because their fellow medical doctors - like Sarah - are remaining silent. Midwives and doulas are joining the chorus of medical doctor silence - with (as noted above) some of them PROMOTING birth-canal-closing/semisitting! Jan Tritten was thinking about issuing a "semisitting dangerous" press release - but I haven't heard from her... See Bravo Jan! Do it for the babies! (Midwifery Today editor Jan Tritten) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/3067 To my knowledge, Jan hasn't even emailed Oregon's only medical school (OHSU) to protest *their* promotion of semisitting. The OHSU website - right in my own backyard (!) - STILL says: "...With semi-sitting positions, gravity can help the mother in pushing the baby through the birth canal..." http://www.ohsuhealth.com/cwh/health...r/deliver.html DR. GASTALDO CORRECTS OHSU: With semi-sitting positions, the birth canal is closed up to 30% and closing birth canals sometimes causes "failure to progress" which can "necessitate" performing a cesarean section as indicated in this quote from the same OHSU website: "There are several conditions which may necessitate performing a cesarean section...[including]...a labor that fails to progress or does not progress normally..." http://www.ohsuhealth.com/cwh/health...r/deliver.html See Birth child abuse: Oregon's only medical school (OHSU) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2986 Lucy, Sarah does NOT agree with me that a British GP needs to speak up about SIMPLE prevention of birth trauma. Sarah, if you are reading, I do NOT mean that allowing the birth canal to open the "extra" up to 30% will prevent ALL birth trauma. It won't - but why are women having to ASK for it? PART OF THE ANSWER: Medical doctor silence - in this case medical doctor SARAH silence. Lucy, how hard would it be for Sarah to email her employer Tendring ("we spend on prevention") Primary Care Trust and say: "Dr. Gastaldo is right: The OB lies are obvious and the grisly biomechanics are simple." She could write that ONE SENTENCE and maybe include The Four OB Lies et seq. (see below.) Sarah could copy me - and misc.kids.pregnancy - and follow-up with hard copy. Sarah, here's the email for Tendring Primary Care Trust: Simple, no? What a GREAT way for a British GP to start out the new year! BTW, Sarah - if you do this finally - if you do your JOB finally (the prevention part)... And you follow up with hard copy... My surface mail address is: 22115 NW Imbrie Dr. #338 Hillsboro, OR 97124 Thanks. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo Happy New Year! I myself will copy the Tendring Primary Care Trust... David Rex Chairman Paul Unsworth Chief Executive Sarah Gallone Complaints and Education Manager Jan Chittock Child Protection Administrative Assistant via Catherine Morgan Communications Manager Tendring Primary Care Trust Canarvon House Canarvon Road Clacton-on-Sea Essex CO15 6QD tel: 01255 206067 Here's that Tendring PREVENTION quote: "The NHS spends public money - your money - on health care, treatment and **prevention**...Tendring Primary Care Trust [PCT] aims to deliver better and more responsive health services to improve the health of people in your area. The Trust holds the NHS budget for our local population of 139,000 people. It steers the work of GP practices..." http://www.essex.nhs.uk/documents/gu...ring%20pct.pdf I think Tendring Trust would be more motivated to "spend" on this FREE prevention/work to simply stop the bizarre birth-canal-closing behavior of OBs and midwives - if one of Tendring's own GP employees (Sarah for example) contacted them and said "Dr. Gastaldo's right, etc." See above. Why do most women not even know about the "extra" up to 30%? And when women know about it... Why do they have to ASK for it? Sarah, are you SURE that even if the OB lies about birth position were exposed - it "wouldn't make a difference to anyone's birth position." (?) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...69babf01124baa I think you are very wrong... Pretend you are setting up a scientific trial. You have to disclose to participants that the trial's purpose is to find out if closing the birth canal up to 30% is bad for mothers or babies. How many women are going to want their birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30%? Some (Lucy for example) are going to DEMAND it. I think most (all?) women would. I say exposing the OB lies will make a HUGE difference - once medical doctors get on board and start ringing Tendring's PREVENTION bell. Here are The Four OB Lies for your convenience - you might want to include them in your email-followed-by-hard-copy-letter to Tendring Primary Care Trust... I noted some of the OB lies in an Open Letter to the FTC years ago... http://home1.gte.net/gastaldo/part2ftc.html THE FOUR OB LIES... OB LIE #1. After MASSIVE change in the AP pelvic outlet diameter was clinically demonstrated in 1911 and radiographically demonstrated in 1957, the authors of Williams Obstetrics began erroneously claiming that pelvic diamaters DON'T CHANGE at delivery. OB LIE #2. After Ohlsen pointed out in 1973 that pelvic diameters DO change - the authors of Williams Obstetrics began erroneously claiming that their most frequent delivery position - dorsal - widens the outlet. OB LIE #3. After I pointed out in 1992 that dorsal CLOSES - and so does semisitting - the authors of Williams Obstetrics - put the correct biomechanics in their 1993 edition - but kept in their text (in the same paragraph!) - the dorsal widens bald lie that first called my attention to their text... OB LIE #4. OBs are actually KEEPING birth canals closed when babies get stuck - and claiming they are doing everything to allow the birth canal open maximally. (ACOG Shoulder Dystocia video - also forceps and vacuum births are performed with the mother in lithotomy.) See Make birth better: Dan Rather, before you leave CBS... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2983 TENDRING: UNNECESSARY SURGERIES Stopping hospital obstetricians from placing women semisitting or dorsal and closing birth canals the "extra" up to 30% will likely prevent many unnecessary EXPENSIVE surgeries: Hospital obstetricians are slicing vaginas and abdomens en masse (episiotomies and c-sections) - surgically/fraudulently inferring they are doing/have done everything possible to open birth canals - even as they close birth canals - up to 30%. NOTE: Of course, allowing birth canals to open the "extra" up to 30% is not going to prevent all episiotomies or c-sections - but regardless - hospital obstetricians should not be closing birth canals - or KEEPING them closed when babies get stuck. PREGNANT WOMEN: It is easy to offer your baby the "extra" up to 30% of outlet area by simply rolling onto your side as you push your baby out. JUST BEWA Some OBs and CNMwives let you "try" alternative delivery positions - but move you back to semisitting or dorsal (close your birth canal) for the actual delivery. ALSO BEWA It is STANDARD PRACTICE for OBs to keep birth canals closed when babies get stuck - i.e. - OBs are pulling with forceps and vacuums - with birth canals senselessly closed... LADIES: Talk to your OB or CNMwife about this today. WHITE ELEPHANT FACT: Pregnant women should not have to ASK obstetricians for the "extra" up to 30%. Tendring Primary Care Trust: If British GP Sarah doesn't write, I hope you will take action anyway. There is no way that OBs should be keeping birth canals closed when babies get stuck. No way. Think PREVENTION. Think saving MONEY. Once Tendring stops OBs from committing The Great Birth Robbery - Tendring might want to look into stopping The Great Squat Robbery. (British OB Jason Gardosi once in effect blamed one on the other.)
