A Million Cuts: India’s C-Section Epidemic | Undercover Asia

[@sumitpandit1125]

Excellent initiative.. When I told my doctor Vinita Kaul (Fortis, Anandapur, Kolkata) that we don't want to have unnecessary caesarean, her reply was astonishing. She told that "No doctor will be available for 24 hr at hospital. If you opt for Bhagirathi Neotia, then it will be convenient for me for normal delivery." This Bhagirathi Neotia charges around 1.5 to 2 lakh for child birth whether natural or caesarean. I stopped consulting that arrogant money minded doctor from then and switched to Sishu Mangal Hospital, Kolkata. This hospital is run by Ramkrishna Mission Seva Pratishthan, a NGO and it has a record of most normal child birth in Kolkata.

[@justanotherperson2576]

Private hospitals in Kolkata are nothing but premium butcher shops! All they think about is money. I have even seen that for the same test under the same sets of conditions, the Kolkata branch of Apollo was charging 2-4 times more than its Chennai branch. It's menacing!!

In a country where citizens live selfish lives, who cannot see beyond their own pain. Where society is so fragmented over petty reasons. Where everybody cheats everybody and everyone calls everyone “cheater”. Where we’re taught to only think about ourselves, because we’re all competitors. In such country, people can’t see beyond their own sufferings, thus everyone suffers and nobody cares. We vote with hatred in our minds, not public healthcare or education. Hence, Indians spend less than 2% of their budget into healthcare. “Caesarean section rate is less than 14% in government hospitals” which are driven by PEOPLE’s money and not corporate profit making mindset. There’s no incentive to do C-section and it’s done only when it’s needed. But we won’t improve our healthcare. Instead, we’ll continue to blame the privatised system which too is the devil of our own making. “In democracy, government is of the people, by the people, for the people. But the people are retarded.” - Osho

This topic touched me in a deeper level. I live in Netherlands and was blesses with a baby this month. The baby was around 3.5 kg. This was our first baby so we were not sure what is the procedure of child birth in NL. Few months before the delivery we had an intake with doctor. The doctor CATEGORICALLY declined C-Section as an options. Here is what she said " we doctors in NL pledge to never harm our patients. A C-section means cutting 7 layers of human tissue. This procedure will actively harm the mother and baby. We will not perform this operation until either mother or baby are actively in danger " My wife was very afraid of a natural delivery. She is very soft person, because of that I was also not sure if she could do it. She was in labour for 8+ hrs. The doctors the nurses were cheering her all the way. Our baby was born naturally. One more very important thing about this procedure was the nurse and doctors asked for her "consent" for everything they do to her. In parallel in India my relative was also pregnant. Her child was around 2.8kg. she is way more stronger. She tried for a natural birth. But only after 2 hrs of trying doctors pushed for C-Section. She was almost done but they still insisted for C-Section. They tried all the fear tactics and finally her husband said yes for C-Section. I have no doubt about the talent of doctors in india. They are the best of best. But I highly dought their ethics. I cannot trust a single word that they say. And I don't believe that the decision they take is for my best interest.

I gave birth in Canada. Due to preeclampsia, I was induced at 38 weeks. Was in labour for 48 hours without pain control, then opted for an epidural and two hours later my blood pressure spiked and my son’s heart rate plummeted. I was encouraged every step of the way to deliver vaginally until it became a real risk to him. Three minutes later I had a healthy 7 lb 8 oz baby with perfect apgars and my blood pressure came down so dramatically, I lost 30 lbs in swelling in two days. My hands and feet were wrinkled from the loss of fluid I built up. My caesarean was necessary, well-performed, followed up with the best of care (I was readmitted a week later, but I have a bleeding disorder, so that was to blame, not the care I was provided) and until it was 100% necessary, I was not rushed or pushed into anything. I was so fortunate. These stories and rates of up to 96% c-sections scare me. Regulation is necessary here.

You say my body is made for it. Thats not true. We need all the type of sergeries and drugs to live.

Unfortunately sometimes we do need surgeries and medication. However, the norm shouldn't be to jump to c sections in healthy women during pregnancy and labour. There needs to be a better balance as can be seen from this video. And I intend to try and be as natural as possible because women's bodies are actually designed to birth children. That is my decision. If I need an emergency medication or surgery for my baby then of course I would consider it. But c section and inducement are my final options...not part of my first.

I am a proud Indian but I am ashamed to admit that I am grateful for having 1 miscarriage and 2 deliveries done in the US. My 1st pregnancy was only 7 weeks long. Then the heartbeat of the fetus stopped. I cried for so long, being away from family and my 1st pregnancy was so hard. My doctor said now you just wait until your period comes. Your body will figure out that something foreign is inside and naturally remove it. Everyone from India said that I need to have fetus removed surgically. Because that's what they do in India. Then my 1st delivery had all the reasons they give in India for emergency C-section. My water broke at 4 in the morning and I delivered my son at 10 at night. No one mentioned C-section until the end when the doctor is required to mention it. The cord was wrapped around my baby's neck. My baby was moving very slowly so in the end they used the suction but no C-section.

[@irenedhakde4692]

Yes in India, certain hospitals (most of them in fact) push unnecessarily for cesareans. It's often not the doctors' fault but the management of those hospitals who forces its doctors to reach a certain yearly turnover. Appalling. In Mumbai, I had found a fabulous gynecologist who resigned from one of those big hospitals for these same ethical reasons (she is now practicing in Dubai). But she told me about something really interesting though. She worked for some time in the UK. She was telling me that there, because of the pressure of the medical insurance, doctors can tell by experience in some cases that the mother's pelvis for ex. is much too narrow for the size of the baby and that an emergency cesarean will be ultimately needed, but they have to let the woman go through hours of exhausting natural labour until the emergency cesarean occurs as a matter of life or death, because the pelvic measurements and parameters accepted by the insurance to justify a cesarean were not fully met, only borderline. I have also had certain procedures done abroad (in Switzerland) without anesthetia (horribly painful, I am still traumatized). I told this to some doctors here in India who opened big eyes, wondering how the hell doctors in Switzerland could have done that to me without anesthetia. Again, insurance coverage issues. So to say that the other side of the world also has its issues. (From a Swiss living in India)

[@rajagopalram7783]

Thanks for opening my eyes. Unfortunately, while I am not a doctor, I guess this problem has a very simple solution for all stakeholders. In my opinion, this is a cost accounting and product pricing issue. I agree with all the experts in this video that the process of normal delivery requires a lot of standby resources which are not billed. My point is as long as these costs are known, (which they are), you can load that cost onto a normal delivery. In this manner, the need to force a C-section reduces as the idling costs are getting recovered. Also, on the flip side, the cost of C-section too will reduce because the degree of under recovery of idling costs is simply not there. In my case, our child was born overseas and in government health care system where he was delivered normally. The only thing I knew then was that Csections were more expensive than normal delivery. However, my point is if the cost of normal delivery is properly assessed, then the need to force unethical C-sections reduce.
