TIL a major surgery with a massive incision is considered "for their own comfort". Just be childfree and be done with it. (lemmy.world)

C-sections are overprescribed for white people in the USA. (I don’t mean that in a “all lives matter”.) Brown people are even more excessive. Patient welfare is low on the list.

But it sure is ~~profitable~~ ~~convenient for the OB~~ in the patient’s best interest.

You're correct. Hospitals request it because it speeds up maternity stays, drives up bills, doctors are advised to because it has less "risk" for malpractice. Long term health issues increase with c-sections.
