In our last episode of season 2 we are joined by Dr Nathan Riley, MD of the Obgyno Wino Podcast to discuss collaborative birth care.
We discuss how medicine & obstetrics has historically excluded midwives and other community caregivers and the intentional harm that has caused, particularly in communities of color.
We identify the challenges in changing the mindset about what responsibilities physicians have for birth, and the conversations that need to be happening between hospital-based birth professionals and their patients and the community at large.
We also explore some of the present-day barriers to collaborative care and our vision for working through them!
