The Health Babes are joined by community-based obstetrician, Dr. Stuart James Fischbein. He talks about his journey working in hospitals and why he started working with patients in a community-based setting. We talk about the stark differences of having a hospital birth versus home birth. We also unpack some of the flaws in the current healthcare model, the potential risks of getting a cesarean, and the importance of thorough communication and informed consent.
