#138 | Legal Case Study #1 with Attorney Hermine Hayes-Klein: Traumatized at a Major Teaching Hospital While Interns Watched and Learned

08 Dec 2021

Description

Send us a textToday on the show we have attorney Hermine Hayes-Klein, a fearless legal advocate for sexual and reproductive rights with a particular passion for defending women’s human rights in childbirth, which, she says, are routinely violated in maternity care systems. We’re also grateful to have her her clients, Lillie and George, whose birth experience we will be focusing on today. By the end of this episode you’ll have clarity as what obstetric abuse looks like, who is committing it and why it’s self-perpetuating.  Plus, a better understanding of your legal and human rights, and how the two still need to better align in today’s maternity - and, primarily obstetric - model of care systems. There are two things we would like you to know before listening:1. Hermine drops one quick f-bomb between the 7-8 minute mark, and2. We made the choice to bleep-out the hospital name. It was a last-minute decision, and we made it for the following reasons:(a) we didn’t want to complicate any current legal matters between the client and hospital, and (b) we don’t want the listener to think stories like these can’t and don’t happen all over, because, unfortunately, they do.If you follow us on Instagram, you’re welcome to reach out and ask.
