#387 High Risk - What Does It Really Mean?

Obstetricians regularly use terms like high risk, safer, evidence based and standard of care as if they all have an agreed upon definition. THEY DON'T! Today Blyss & Dr. Stu discuss the use and misuse of language and the corruption of definitions in the maternity care world. What or who determines the standard of care? Are labels of high risk indicative of high risk? Who should determine what safe means? We offer some explanations and strong opinions, shockingly, as to the motivation behind the manipulation of these terms and suggest alternative definitions that we think just makes more sense.

In this episode of the Birthing Instincts Podcast:

Defining Medical Terms and Standards
Pregnancy and High-Risk Conditions
Risk Assessment and Labeling in Healthcare
Questioning Evidence-Based Medicine and Safety
Exploring the Definition of Physiologic Birth
