I just want you to know that it is not taken lightly and it was riskier for the mother given her medical conditions and the size of the baby. I myself chose to have my children by natural childbirth without any medications with a midwife but I am comforted knowing that shoud complications arise I will not lose a child in childbirth. OR live is not meant to be voyeristic , it is invaluable in the trainging of medical personel and keeping us updated on new less invasive techniques and new equipment and education of patients that may be having a similar procedure. As far as doctors seeking out a high risk patient it is not necessary they specialize in high risk and patients have to be informed and want to participate and some high risk cesareans are prescheduled . It is unfortunate that television has chosen the surgical setting for some dramas and has given the impression that surgery is trivial, most OR personel can not stand to watch TV programs because we take it very serious.
