PSYCHOANALYZING OBSTETRICIANS
"[E]pisiotomy, cesarean and other assisted delivery...are
rampant. These interventions can be attributed to men's
unconscious (and conscious) curiosity, jealousy, hostility,
and helplessness about female reproduction, coupled with the
fact that men have dominated the field of medicine for most
of its history." --Nada L. Stotland, MD, MPH [Women's

OPEN LETTER
Nada L. Stotland, M.D., M.P.H. Professor of Psychiatry and
Obstetrics/Gynecology Rush Medical College Chicago, IL via
psychiatry residents listed below...
Nada,
WOMEN are manifesting "men's unconscious (and conscious)
curiosity, jealousy, hostility, and helplessness about
female reproduction." (!)
WOMEN are helping to make unnecessary interventions
"rampant"... (!)
Male and female OBs are slicing vaginas en masse -
surgically/fraudulently inferring they are doing everything
possible to OPEN birth canals - even as they CLOSE birth
canals - up to 30%.
Male and female OBs are violently pushing (with oxytocin,
Cytotec and PGE2) and gruesomely pulling (with hands,
forceps, vacuums) - with birth canals senselessly closed
up to 30%.
Male and female OBs are sometimes pulling so hard they rip
spinal nerves out of spinal cords!
Male and female OBs routinely gruesomely wrenching
babies' necks.
ALL spinal manipulation is gruesome with the birth canal
senselessly closed up to 30%.
Male and female OBs are remaining silent about this rampant
criminal negligence that sometimes escalates to criminally
negligent homicide.
Male and female OBs should stop - but they can't stop -
because stopping the crime would be tantamount to
admitting it.
Male and female OBs are putting professional health above
public health.
Nada L. Stotland, MD, MPH: Please report this mass child
abuse by male and female OBs...
See Violence against women/Mark Lowry III, MD says 'Dr.'
Gastaldo has a point... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-
list/message/2570
I am in favor of pardons in advance for MDs. MDs are just
academic prime cuts forced through this culture's most
powerful mental meatgrinder - medical school.
Thanks for reading.

PS PROOF that OBs and CNMwives are routinely closing birth
canals up to 30%...
The fact that semisitting and dorsal close the birth canal
is simple biomechanics.
See Gastaldo TD. Letter. Birth 1992;19(4):230.
Here's my source for the 30% figure...
"[T]he outlet increases with moulding by approximately 20-30
per cent." --Russell JGB. Moulding of the pelvic outlet. J
Obstet Gynaec Brit Cwlth 1969;76:817-20.
NOTE: In 1973, Ohlsen verified Russell's 20% figure on
Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 intrapartum x-rays.
Ohlsen pointed out that the authors of Williams
Obstetrics were claiming that the pelvic diameters
*don't change* during delivery (!) - so the authors
of Williams Obstetrics decided (erroneously) that
dorsal delivery widens!
Interestingly, early last century, J. Whitridge Williams,
MD, the original author of Williams Obstetrics demonstrated
MASSIVE amounts of change in pelvic outlet diameter change
at-term - and the just mentioned 1957 intrapartum x-ray
study accorded with the average amount of pelvic outlet
diameter change Williams found clinically...
See: http://home1.gte.net/gastaldo/part2ftc.html
Jason Gardosi, MD, director of the British National Health
Service/NHS West Midlands Perinatal Institute/WMPI states
the grisly biomechanics 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
The funny thing is, Jason Gardosi, MD also *recommends*
semisitting (closing the birth canal) - or used to!
"The second stage...You might want to remain in bed with
your back propped up with pillows...As you push, try to let
yourself 'open up' below..."
http://www.preg.info/book/chapter11.htm
NOTE: Jason Gardosi, MD and his fellow British OB pal
Malcolm Griffiths once got me censored from an
international OB/GYN listserv - but fortunately not
before two of my posts were archived thereon: http://forums.obgyn.net/forums/ob-gyn-

Anyone interested in some entertaining obstetric reading,
check out Jason's 1989 Lancet "randomised controlled trial
of squatting" - where nobody squatted...
See Sarah Key's huge balls (also: Kids can SQUAT motionless
for hours)... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-

MORE PROOF According to the Merck Manual:
"When shoulder dystocia occurs...the mother's thighs are
hyperflexed to increase the diameter of the pelvic
outlet..." http://www.merck.com/mrkshared/mmanual/section18-
/chapter253/253g.jsp
WHY are OBs and CNMwives (nurse midwives) waiting until the
head is out and shoulders get stuck before giving the baby
maximum pelvic outlet diameter?
WHY are OBs and CNMwives forcing babies' heads through birth
canals senselessly closed up to 30%?
WHY are OBs and CNMwives KEEPING birth canals closed when
babies' shoulders get stuck?
(Merely hyperflexing the thighs does NOT get the woman off
her sacrum. This is BAD McRoberts maneuver. ON A POSITIVE
NOTE: Gardosi et al.'s WMPI site (quoted above) recommends a
version of GOOD McRoberts if the shoulders get stuck...

LADIES: HELP PROTECT YOUR VAGINAS...
OBs and CNMwives are slicing vaginas (euphemism "routine
episiotomy") - surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring everything
possible is being done to OPEN birth canals - even as they
CLOSE birth canals - up to 30%!

Sorry to be repetitive but...
WEIRD: In 1993, the authors of Williams Obstetrics published
the correct biomechanics at my request but they left in
their text (in the same paragraph!) the "dorsal widens" bald
lie that first called my attention to their text.
The "dorsal widens" bald lie was created when Ohlsen
informed the authors of Williams Obstetrics in 1973 that
they were still claiming that the pelvic diameters *don't
change* at delivery!
ALSO WEIRD: Before Ohlsen stimulated their "dorsal widens"
bald lie, the authors of Williams Obstetrics were ignoring
Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 RADIOGRAPHIC demonstration that
the diameters DO change - and this MANY years after (way
back in 1911) J. Whitridge Williams, MD - the first author
of Williams Obstetrics - clinically demonstrated 4cm of AP
outlet diameter change!
For details: See my Open Letter to FTC at:
http://home1.gte.net/gastaldo/part2ftc.html
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS
PREGNANT WOMEN: It is EASY for you to allow your birth canal
to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. Just roll onto your side as
you push your baby out - or deliver on hands-and-knees,
kneeling, standing, squatting, etc.
BUT BEWARE: "Midwives...encourage...semisitting." (closing
the birth canal!) --Yale CNMwifery Prof. Helen Varney.
Varney's Midwifery. Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett. 4th
ed. 2004:839]
Some MDs and MBs will let you "try" "alternative" delivery
positions but will move you back to dorsal or semisitting
(close your birth canal!) as you push your baby out!
If your baby's shoulders get stuck OBs and CNMwives will
KEEP your birth canal closed!
Yale CNMwifery Prof. Varney (just cited) writes:
"In the event of...shoulder dystocia...the woman should be
in a lithotomy position..." (p. 839)
Lithotomy position keeps the birth canal closed! So does
semisitting!
Talk to your CNMwife or MD or MB about this TODAY. (For
further details see "Criminal medical CAM," URL above.)
CNMwives/MDs/MBs: If you must push or pull - and sometimes
you must - first get the woman off her sacrum - off her
back/butt.
