Well a study in Nursing Economics found midwife - led births that collaborate with physicians are less likely to have C - sections, episiotomies, or perineal trauma than

Not exact matches
Most births in the United States are attended
by obstetricians - surgeons who are trained to
handle complications, and who are likely to resort to obstetrical interventions.
That conveniently elides the fact that nurses, anesthesiologists and other
obstetricians ARE present at the hospital and emergencies can be
handles by doctors other than the patient's personal physician.
If an
obstetrician negligently fails to recognize and
handle these complications and the
obstetrician's negligence is determined to have been a cause of the fetus's injury or death, the
obstetrician may be held liable for the damages suffered
by the child or the child's family as a result.
