VBAC support hits mainstream media

Very nice to see the NY Times publish this article on the eve of the NIH VBAC consensus conference. Kudos to Kim Gregory, MD for her honesty. So obvious what the burden of medical malpractice and money does to trump evidence based medicine. For when you remove them from the equation the safety and benefit from selected VBACs is clear. Hospitals and practitioners must recognize that the real battle on behalf of our patients should not be between them. United they should work toward insurance and tort reform. Although, I am not for a government takeover of medicine it is clear that it works for the women on this Reservation. Dr. F
