Book Reviews of Silent Knife: Cesarean Prevention and Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC)
Book Review: Beware
Summary: 1 Stars
I work on Labor and Deliver at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. I have seen many of Nancy Wainer Cohen's disasters come through our doors in hopes that they can be saved by our doctors. Amazingly, Nancy does not even call an ambulance for these cases. Instead, she chooses to drive these women to the hospital herself. As one father stated, "I knew something was wrong when I realized she was driving 80 mph and running red lights just to get us to the hospital." Sadly, his child ended up in the NICU with uncontrollable seizures. Although VBAC's can be a beautiful thing, Nancy Wainer Cohen does not use good clinical judgement in whom she decides to help with home births. Her words cannot be trusted.
