Disrespect

I am concerned about the treatment of the majority of laboring women in U.S. hospitals. I am angry about the disrespect they are receiving from their doctors and care givers.
My sister in law recently gave birth to her first child. A little boy. My SIL was in labor for 12 hours. 12 hours is not that long especially for a first child yet my SIL still ended up with pitocin. I wonder if they told her of the dangers? I wonder if they told her it could increase her chances of c-section or that it would make her pain much much worse.
When my SIL got to the hospital her doctor wasn't even there. She ended up with a lady she had never met. A doctor that didn't even think to ask my brother in law if he wanted to cut the cord.
I am horrified by this. I am angry at the disrespectful way my SIL and BIL were treated! Mostly, I am saddened that they just don't seem to know or care that they were treated with such disrespect.
