Home Births
by A Collaborative Work From Some of the Writers at Authentic Medicine •
I think we need a NO SHIT, SHERLOCK category for this blog because this one would fit right in: Newborns in the U.S. are much more likely to survive a hospital delivery than a planned home birth, regardless of how qualified the attending midwife may be, a new study suggests. Researchers looked at mortality rates…

Dr. Duprey explained how their conclusions were flawed here. And now the page is gone. It was supposed to here but all we get now is: Why do you think they took it down? We hope because they also realized it was flawed and someone complained (like us). Get our awesome newsletter by signing up…

There has been some major pushback to the article “Facing Pilot Shortage, will California Give Flight Attendants More Authority to Fly the Plane?“.

Facing Pilot Shortage, will California Give Flight Attendants More Authority to Fly the Plane?
