Yeah, so he wrote this in response to an AMA report that said the obstetric liability premiums have risen for seven years in a row.
He starts out with this story of, I don't know, a real or a hypothetical case where patient was induced with side attack and then
Oxytocin, which he argues starved the baby of oxygen but made the staff happy because her cervix dilated quickly.
