Who would have thunk it? The Happy Hospitalist just published a post defending home births: Home Birthing Experience Should Not Turn Women and Midwives Into Criminals.
For those who are not familiar, “Dr. Happy” is an internal medicine hospitalist who has very strong (and sometimes bizarre) opinions on many areas of health care. For instance, he has been known to defend Michael Jackson’s doctor for setting up a Dr. Frankenstein’s lab in his home, and often accuses nurses of not having critical thinking skills.
Thus, I was presently surprised to see Dr. Happy defending home birth based on scientific and common sense evidence. Thank you Dr. Happy (that is until you write the next obnoxious post degrading advanced practice and staff nurses), for spreading some common sense.
