Business of Being Born:
-Over the years there have bein many new "medical treatments" to help the pregnant woman endure less pain during birth, However the problem with this is that the shots that were given to the woman to help her feel less pain was not even approved and not a safe drug that should be iven to the pregnanat woman.
-I have also learned that doctors want to make there lives easier so they take the easy way out and use machines that'll take the babies out at a more rapid rate.
- The doctors also seem to ignore everything that the mom says. Although the doctors do listen to what the mother is saying the doctor seems to make things go the way they want and not by what the mothers want.
The major insight the book tries to communicate:
In the second hundred pages the book tries to tell its readers of how for many years woman have always had to go through a very humiliating process. How the doctors procedures aren't always the best, and how the doctors procedures could lead to the womans death.
"Woman have tolerated unnatural labor position, little snips, humiliating enemas, unnecessary shavings, dangerous instruments, embarrasing hospital gowns, and tight labor schedules for hundreds of years." (Pg. 161)
"Hoping to bring down her temperature, doctors withdrew fifty ounces of blood. Her Pulse, and her strength, steadily weakened. Then she died."(pg. 162)
