Hospitals make me cringe

Heart attack? Hospital. Liver disease? Hospital. Cut your fingers off? Hospital. There are so many things that hospitals are made for and are GOOD AT. Natural childbirth is not one. As someone who gets to see both sides of the birthing card, I have to say that I become more disappointed in hospital births by the day.
Recently, I accompanied a couple during the birth of their first child. I was flabbergasted by what the OB was telling the mother during labor and later, the delivery. The doc offered ZERO support for natual birth. In fact, she seemed to "poo-poo" it. When my clients asked about unmedicated delivery, she more or less dismissed them, saying that almost nobody did that.
