You've Got To Be A Fool To Have Your Baby In A Hospital

DV,

Have you seen that movie?

It is TERRIBLE!!! TERRIBLE!!! And I am sympathetic to the message.

It was, essentially, a narcissistic reality show about Ricki Lake and her friend Abby Epstein. The biggest punishment of it all, though, was that after losing over an hour of my life watching the silliness, Abby Epstein still ends up at the hospital...with a C-section!

HEADFAKE!

The movie sucks you in with...hey, hospitals are bad for a multitude of reasons and ultimately ends with, hey, hospitals are great if things aren't 100% perfect. Which has the effect of encouraging every woman in the world to go to the hospital...just in case.

Damn D.

Nah. Haven't seen the film yet.

Pregnant friend of mine called raving about it, swearing to never have her child in a hospital. Made sure I put a clip up.

Thanks for hipping me to the head fake.

Frightening people into giving birth in institutions of sickness is one of the ways the Plantation controls the population.

90% of C Sections are unnecessary.
