Journal Title: Hong Kong Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Tony Robbins would have not thought while quoting this line that at some point in time it would be very aptly applicable to all the obstetricians worldwide. Lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) is the most widely and most widely used medical procedure by the doctors worldwide to combat maternal and child death. It is so incorporated in our society that it is stated as the medicalisation of women health by the healthcare providers and social scientists. Technology has largely replaced the human thinking skill and knowledge. The promoters of evidence-based medicine, that to supported by various objective parameters also advocate and rely on the use of modern medical gadgets rather than the assumptive and presumptive decisions taken by the skilled clinicians on the basis of their medical teaching and experience.
