Thank you Yolanda for this amazing interview with your unnamed friend! It was of great interest to me because I'm a retired home-birth nurse midwife, and have had to deal with the intensity of managing excessive bleeds several times in the home setting. I have a couple of offerings that came up for me while listening to this podcast. One is that before becoming a midwife, I worked in "Labor and Delivery" at a local hospital and it was made clear to us there and in my nurses training that if a practitioner forces a patient to take a medicine or undergo a procedure that she doesn't want, it's considered battery and can be prosecuted in a court of law. I wonder if there's such a thing as "verbal battery," as this poor mother certainly endured that! Secondly, I was impressed not only with your friend's expertise in stopping a bleed but also that she had the forethought to contact a hospital back east which had a protocol for dealing with patients who refuse blood. I just want to add that there's also a Seventh Day Adventist hospital in southern California called Loma Linda University Medical Center that will also share their protocols when requested. Thanks again for this great interview!
Halimah, thank you for saying; and i had no idea of your personal history. i report happily that i remain undaunted in bringing important medical information forth. i feel fortunate to be in the stream of this truth and these stories! Solutions are emerging - and i will find, use, and report them!
Did you know Naomi Wolf is speaking Saturday night 6pm at the Calvary Church in San Jose? It's ALL ABOUT moms and babies. i will be there!
AND my guest has several more stories, and wants to come back soon - we are holding the line together for everyone we can here.
