PREGNANT WOMEN: MDs are senselessly closing birth canals up to 30% by using semisitting and dorsal
delivery. You can help prevent an episiotomy - protect your VAGINA - by helping to protect your
baby's brain...
It's EASY to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30% - but see the WARNING below...
LADIES: If you've already given birth - if you gave birth on your back or butt and your baby was
paralyzed or otherwise harmed - I'm hoping you will contact a successful birth trauma attorney like
Kathleen Zellner (see the very end of this post).
MDs ARE PARALYZING BABIES: WILL DR. NATH HELP **PREVENT** THAT WHICH HE TREATS?

Rahul,
MDs have "an ethical obligation to prevent harm." --Clarence Braddock III, MD, MPH http://www.ama-
assn.org/ama/pub/category/4382.html
Since you list "difficult delivery" risk factors for obstetric brachial plexus injuries ("large
size, use of forceps or vacuum, and shoulder dystocia")...
Since it is "established obstetric teaching that a narrow pelvic outlet predisposes to a
difficult vaginal delivery..." --Dr. Andrea Froschauer-Frudinger et al. [Br J Obstet Gynaecol
2002;109(11):1207-12]
Difficult deliveries caused by obstetricians senselessly narrowing pelvic outlets (see the
postscript) are likely causing some obstetric brachial plexus injuries.
Please meet your ethical obligation to prevent that which you treat.
Thanks for reading,
Sincerely,

PS Rahul, this is not the first time I've written to you about MD-obstetricians committing obstetric
crime that is sending you tiny surgery patients.
Since you and your physician colleagues aren't helping to stop MD-obstetricians from senselessly
closing birth canals, I am hoping shoulder dystocia/Erb's ATTORNEYS (or DAs) will stop the massive
obstetric crime, as in the following Open Letter to Attorney Kathleen Zellner...

Kathy,
I think your birth trauma jackpots would SKYROCKET if you started telling juries that MDs are
senselessly closing birth canals up to 30%.
Since MDs won't stop of their own accord...
Since DAs are dragging their feet...
See FBI: AMA 'pedo-priests': Will DA Cooley prosecute? http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-
list/message/2289
WHY NOT A CLASS ACTION? Maybe you could stop the grisly mass obstetric travesty with a class
action lawsuit.
At the very least, you could add "Birth on back or butt - dorsal or semisitting" to your brachial
plexus injury risk factors... http://www.kathleentzellner.com/brachial.html

Why won't shoulder dystocia attorneys tell juries that MDs are knowingly closing birth canals
up to 30%?
Does anyone know ONE shoulder dystocia attorney who is doing this?
It's a "slam-dunk" case: MDs are admitting ON VIDEO that they are routinely closing birth canals!
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists/ACOG shoulder dystocia training video
purports to show MDs how to OPEN birth canals when shoulders get stuck - which of course means
that MDs are knowingly CLOSING birth canals! One doesn't need to know any biomechanics to
figure this out!
For the kicker, though, one needs some simple biomechanics: The ACOG method of opening the birth
canal actually keeps it closed!

Why won't shoulder dystocia attorneys tell juries that MDs are knowingly closing birth canals

FURTHER PROOF (that MDs know they are closing birth canals)...
The simple biomechanics are openly stated by British National Health Service/NHS West Midlands
Perinatal Institute/WMPI/Jason Gardosi, MD, Director who writes of the semirecumbent delivery
position (semisitting):
"...the weight of the mother is in part taken on the sacrum which is therefore pushed upwards, thus
decreasing the antero-posterior diameter of the pelvic outlet..."
http://www.wmpi.net/reviews/oe/oe_shoulder_dystocia.htm
MDs and MBs: If you must push or pull - and sometimes you must - first get the woman off her sacrum!

How can birth trauma attorneys have better things to do than tell juries that MDs are closing
birth canals?
One of the most prominent birth trauma attorneys in the nation (Weisbrod; not and MD) did NOTHING
when I informed of a key error in a textbook chapter he co-authored...
Well, Atty Weisbrod did SOMETHING - he wrote and blamed his MD-attorney partner (Nocon) for the

OBSTETRIC SPINAL MANIPULATION CRIME
In addition to routinely closing birth canals up to 30%, MDs often GRUESOMELY manipulate babies'
spines (push with oxytocin; pull with forceps/vacuums) with the birth canal senselessly closed
up to 30%.
An estimated six babies per day DIE from vacuum-assisted spinal manipulation alone - with birth
canals senselessly closed up to 30%.
See again: How NOT to do McRoberts maneuver... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-
list/message/2258
As indicated above, MD-obstetricians are slashing vaginas en masse (euphemism "routine episiotomy")
- surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring that everything possible has been done to OPEN the birth canal -
even as they CLOSE the birth canal!
DELIBERATE TEARS IN VAGINAS...
Michael C. Klein, MD writes: "[E]pisiotomy is a deliberate second degree tear." [Birth. Letter.
2002;29(1):74]
Some MDs are still claiming (fraudulently) that their episiotomies are *preventing* severe tears
clear to the anus when in fact MDs are CAUSING severe tears clear to the anus!
In 1990 the National Institutes of Health researched the issue and found that deliberate tears by
MDs (episiotomies) cause fifty times MORE severe tears (tears clear to the anus) relative to leaving
the vagina alone.[Shiono et al. Obstet Gynecol 1990;75(5):765-70. In Klein et al. Online J Curr Clin
Trials (Jul1)1992, Doc. No. 10]
"The most common diagnosis for hospitalization among all women is trauma to perineum due to
childbirth." http://www.ahcpr.gov/data/hcup/factbk3/factbk3.htm
MDs are deliberately/senselessly traumatizing perinea - and calling it "childbirth." (!)
This is not childbirth! This is MEDICAL birth - obvious criminal activity...
MDs are not only hospitalizing women DURING birth - they are using birth to hospitalize women
AFTER birth!
This is MASSIVE health fraud!
PREGNANT WOMEN: To offer your baby the up to 30% "extra" - simply roll onto your side as you push
your baby out!
There are LOTS of "alternative" delivery positions that allow the birth canal to open maximally -
kneeling, hands-and-knees, squatting, standing, etec.
Talk to your MD or CNMwife NOW - before your delivery!
WARNING: Some MDs and CNMwives may still close your birth canal (!), as in,
"[M]ost doctors and [nurse] midwives are accustomed to the semisitting position...[T]hey may be
willing to let you try other positions, if you ask...[But]...as you get close to delivery...[they]
may ask you to move to [semisitting]..." [Simkin, P, Whalley J, Keppler, A. Pregnancy, Childbirth
and the Newborn: The Complete Guide (Expanded and updated). Meadowbrook Press: Minnetonka, MN (dist.
by Simon and Schuster). 2001:201]
4.6% of "healthy" term babies are born with unexplained brain bleeds!
And up to 3% of cephalic vaginal deliveries suffer shoulder dystocia!
http://www.imfm.net/mfmtext/shoulder/index.htm
LADIES: If your baby's shoulders get stuck inside you, do NOT let the MD pull with you on your
back/butt, closing your birth canal.
You should not have been on your back/butt closing your birth canal in the first place!
Talk to your MD or CNMwife about this today - BEFORE your birth.
It's sort of a chiropractic emergency.
Please help stop MDs from closing birth canals.
Please share this info with as many pregnant women as possible.
B ACK TO RAHUL NATH, MD...
Rahul,
I think it is WONDERFUL that surgery offers hope in obstetric brachial plexus injuries.
But basically you are charging money to pull drowning babies (Erb's cases) out of the river all the
while ignoring the fact that MD-obstetricians are pushing babies off a cliff (dorsal and semisitting
deliveries) not so far upstream.
Please explicitly inform women who bring their babies to you that MD-obstetricians have no business
putting women on their backs/butts at delivery.
Please explicitly inform them that if they gave birth on their back/butt (semisitting or dorsal) the
MD-obstetrician closed their birth canal up to 30%.
Please consider helping women of injured babies get compensated via a class action lawsuit.
I'm hoping that Attorney Kathleen Zellner (see above) will organize a class action and finally stop
the grisly obstetric travesty. I'll copy her this letter at [email protected].
I am also hoping for criminal prosecution of MDs by LA County DA Steve Cooley and his deputy DA
Bill Hodgman.
See again: FBI: AMA 'pedo-priests': Will DA Cooley prosecute? http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-
list/message/2289
In regard to this latter matter - criminal prosecution - I am favor of pardons in advance for MDs.
MDs are just academic prime cuts forced through this culture's most powerful mental meatgrinder -
medical school.
MDs should be pardoned so that they can keep doing their valid medical work in order to earn the
money to pay the inevitable civil damages.
