Ryan looks like he doesn’t know how to deal with Harrison being so lively.... and did he pull that scotch out of his pocket or do they just have those floating around the junkets or ???

The problem is that there are 2 patients in this scenario. One adult patient who isn’t consenting, and one juvenile who lacks the ability to advocate for itself. You’re right, we don’t perform surgeries on people of sound mind without consent. We do perform them on children. I’m pro-choice, but it’s hard to argue that…

You can be admitted to a hospital and force fed and hooked up to ivs and given all sorts of treatment you didn’t want if you are considered a risk to yourself.

Doctors are gonna stay the Fuck out of OB. Every new mom thinks she’s an obstetrician. And when something goes wrong, they sue. Not worth it.

Happens all the time. In emergencies where the patient’s life is at risk. Last I saw was a drug addict with a gsw to the abdomen. He was on pcp and fighting everyone off. They put him under and cut him open.

I am ride-or-die already for this fluffy movie already for that “THE DOG LIVES!” teaser. Fuck yeah, this is the feel-good movie spoiler I want!

I have ads coming up with shots of Idris Elba chopping wood and pulling a sled and then the word “PROTECTOR” scrolls across the screen. They’re not being subtle and I kind of appreciate that.

I will likely never see this, but knowing in advance that the dog doesn’t die DOES tip the scales in this movies favor.

I sent this article to my cousin, who is an OB. She says the doctor did the right thing (though maybe needs to work on bedside manner). According to her, any signs of fetal distress is enough to move for that emergency c section- apparent tanking heart rate is one of the last things that show- the damage may be…

I am pro-choice, but this is a terrible argument. First, a fetus is not a trespasser in your body but an invitee (or at least a licensee) — legally and morally, more is owed to an invitee than a trespasser. Second, removing an at-risk fetus/baby via surgery is not in any way analogous to harvesting organs.

I suspect that the bad relationship between physician and patient is the root of the issue here. Which is why I wish the first line of care was always a CNM. There’s a different mind set between providers that can make or break how a woman feels about her birth experience, even when the situation goes sideways.

Okay, look, I get that women are often treated dismissively in health care.

I know that when I was in labor, I had sort of tunnel vision—it was hard to focus on anything except the next contraction, and after a while, especially if they won’t let you eat, you have low blood sugar and you’re dehydrated and it hurts and you’re exhausted and you can’t get comfortable. I am sure I missed 50% of…

I’m curious why she was so against having another c-section after having two. It’s says she had an 8-month recovery, but I don’t know if that means there were complications or it just took that long to feel ‘normal.’

I’m not a medical expert, but I am currently pretty well informed about the risks of VBACs, since I had one a few months ago (successful, thankfully!). I feel like we don’t have enough details from both sides of this particular story, so I’ll just say some general things based on my experience & my research:

Not a medical pro, I just play one after watching too many medical procedural dramas on TV.

I think it’s rather telling that even the medical chart doesn’t clearly state the infant was in fetal distress:

What do you want to bet that if they’d allowed her to continue with a VBAC and something had gone wrong with her or the baby (or both), she be suing over that.

I think he likes acting but hates doing all the stuff that goes with it.

Hahaha, Harrison Ford telling someone to cheer up. Also, I want to party with this woman.

I think that’s the most engaged I’ve seen Ford in an interview ever. I don’t know how I feel about it, I kind of love how he’s a total grumpuss to everyone. Stop making Harrison happy Alison!
