Georgetown U. Hospital firing their midwives
Sad news... Georgetown University Hospital has decided to fire the midwives
it has on staff. These are the midwives who attended my VBAC attempt. They provided excellent care. What a loss for DC-area women.

Quote from article: "Economic challenges and skyrocketing medical liability premiums contributed to the program's end, at a time of general nationwide layoffs as a result of rising insurance rates." So when is someone going to do something about this? Or will we end up like that poor Mexican woman, doing our own c-sec, since no affordable care will be available?

The thing that so infuriates me is that midwives are *more* cost-effective, so this just such total BS!! -- Cheryl S. Mom to Julie, 3, and Jaden, 7 months |
