  • Title: Why blame the obstetrician? A review.
    Author: Illingworth RS.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1979 Mar 24; 1(6166):797-801. PubMed ID: 373851.
    Abstract:
    Because of superficial thinking obstetricians have been blamed unjustifiably for causing brain damage, cerebral palsy, mental subnormality, congenital torticollis, and facial palsy. It is essential to look behind obvious difficulties in labour, such as abnormal presentation or anoxia, to the underlying causes, which are often genetic or social, or concern other prenatal factors.
