Mistreatment in the maternity ward? Doctors weigh in on a new CDC report: 'Overstretched health system'
Fox News
After a CDC report found that up to 20% of women have been mistreated in some way during the labor and delivery process, doctors are sharing their perspectives about the state of U.S. maternity care.
An April 2023 Porter Novelli View Moms survey gathered input from 2,402 women about the quality of care they received during childbirth. "The report reflects not just an overstretched health system, but also continuing health disparities." "I would be surprised if this phenomenon was not pervasive across medical specialties." "Tell the doctor if something's bothering you, trust your body and don't stop asking questions until you're satisfied with the answers." "This study oversimplifies health care, points blame and ignores the real issue that the entire health care system is failing." "These data are likely not representative of the U.S. birthing population." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
