Apologies for any typos in this post. The urgency of this issue requires immediate attention, so I'm posting this without my usual prose and review.
A pregnant woman went to a Georgia hospital to give birth.
The infant was in breach, in distress, and heart rate was dropping.
The doctor said they needed to perform an emergency C-section.
The patient refused, and her two doulas advocated on her behalf until they were escorted out by security under the threat of violence.
Doctors ended up doing the C-section anyways, despite patient's wishes.
There's a lot wrong with what happened in this hospital.
Let's peel back the layers.
First, this is NOT the same story you might have heard last week, in a which a pregant woman was forced by a Florida court to have a C-section against her will.
Pregnancy is the only condition where Florida courts have ruled that a patient can be forced to undergo unwanted treatment.
This is also not the same story as the Georgia woman who was charged …
