180: Birth & Pregnancy: Robbery of Informed Consent

Future Generations Podcast with Dr. Stanton Hom

Informed consent in healthcare is crucial as it empowers individuals to make educated decisions about their medical treatment. It ensures that patients are fully aware of the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives before consenting to any medical procedure or intervention. This ethical practice fosters transparency, respect for autonomy, and a collaborative patient-provider relationship.

This week, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down to discuss informed consent, and how mothers are robbed of it when they give birth within the confines of the medical system. Unfortunately, most are completely unaware this is even happening.

Quotes:

“The best way to leave the system is to never need it in the first place.” – Dr. Stanton Hom

“Our job is to look for the root causes and also offer an opportunity to proceed with chiropractic care.” – Dr. Stanton Hom

“There is an avenue where we are robbed as a species with regard to informed consent, and that is the conventional birthing system.” – Dr. Stanton Hom

Key Takeaways:

• True freedom lies in self-sufficiency.

• In a perfect world, the objective of healthcare is to cure and alleviate symptoms and offer alternative care options.

• The conventional birthing system often falls short in offering true informed consent. As a species, there's a collective need for transparency and empowerment in childbirth choices.
