QUESTION 10 OF 20

How do you feel about VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarian)?

Since VBAC is fraught with liability (higher morbidity and mortality), hospitals have a love/hate relationship with it. They love to advertise they do them but hate the extra liability. You should know the hospital policy on them and agree with it. Even if you refuse to do them, you should state you have no problem with doing them according to hospital protocol and safeguards, should you 'inherit' one from a colleague for whom you're covering.

"I personally would rather not manage a VBAC because it requires more in-person surveillance which would limit my office hours and negatively impact my productivity. If I were to inherit one in progress, I would honor the commitment of the doctor I'm covering for and follow the established standard of care and local protocol."
