I like this article. Ive said the following many times - happy to see it written elsewhere again. And happy my group doesnt play the only-get-paid-if-you-deliver game. Our laboring mommies are better off for it for sure. Perhaps more important is the fact that most of what a private-practice ob-gyn doctor earns from taking care of a pregnant woman comes from the delivery. That means doctors have a strong financial incentive to deliver their patients’ babies themselves. How is this a problem? It leads to more C-sections scheduled for the doctor’s convenience, and scheduled inductions of labor that often end in C-sections. Even for unscheduled deliveries, it contributes to the most important syndrome behind unnecessary C-sections: failure to wait. opinionator.blogs.nytimes/2014/05/07/in-delivery-rooms-reducing-births-of-convenience/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0
