86: Why the hospital has routines

30 min • 16 november 2023

No, the hospital doesn't have routines in place to keep you and your baby safe. Those routines are for the hospital’s gain and in this episode I explain exactly how the hospital benefits from routines like electronic fetal monitoring, cervical checks, ultrasounds, etc.

In this episode I discuss:

  • How the hospital routines make moms high risk
  • The change from a 24 hour stay after birth to 48 hours
  • Providers being incentivized to do more cesareans
  • Efficiency, liability, and profit as the flow of birth in the hospital
