The American Academy
of Family Physicians and the American Society
of Anesthesiologists have remained quite on the issue
of home birth (Freeze, 2010).
While the majority
of headache specialists are neurologists, there are also internists,
anesthesiologists, and
family practice doctors who work in this area.
If the injury to the newborn or mother is caused by the negligence
of an obstetrician, surgeon, delivery nurse,
anesthesiologist, pediatrician, or other medical professional involved with the pregnancy, labor, and delivery,
families are entitled to pursue compensation from those liable.
