Leaving aside the issue of lawsuit avoidance, we shouldn’t forget that doctors are human. When I was pregnant with Klara, I was observed at a clinic for high-high-risk pregnancies. You have to sign a contract at the beginning of the process, promising to follow exactly what the doctors say or they stop seeing you. The doctors don’t want to participate in the actions of a primadonna mother who is killing her baby by not following the required procedures.
Once there was a stupid, unqualified nurse who couldn’t find Klara’s heartbeat. It’s not surprising since it was unlikely that the baby’s heartbeat would be located in my armpit where she was looking. This absolute moron informed me that “hmm, I think something is wrong” and went to look for the doctor. I was perfectly calm because Klara was kicking up a storm but when I saw the doctor running in with an ultrasound machine, his shattered, terrified face almost made me cry. He’s human, he got attached to the baby he was trying to help me bring to term over months.
The doctor who actually delivered Klara cried with tears, his hands shaking, he was so happy. So yes, nobody wants to take on a patient at 39 weeks who has been doing nobody knows what and then have a dead baby on their hands.
Again, yes, lawsuits. But the idea that doctors and nurses (with the exception of that heartless moron at the clinic) don’t get emotionally invested into their patients is wrong.
You can be a very special cookie all you want but don’t expect others always to accommodate your very special cookiness. A woman was kicked out of the special clinic where I was observed during my second pregnancy because she had a raging diabetes and just couldn’t give up donuts. She kept ranting about that loudly and explaining what a victim she was. We can condemn the doctors for heartlessly removing her instead of effectively colluding with her in harming and possibly killing the baby.

Doctors in red states no longer treat pregnant patients In situations like this. If something goes wrong and a miscarriage happens, they are up for a murder charge.

The clinic where I was treated was very obviously in a red state. Where else could it possibly be?
It’s working just as always. Maybe you should stop watching propaganda on TV.
