I think we should name it. Health professionals should be called on it when they are using outcomes not supported by the evidence to coerce patients into actions.

I also understand that Nickle is not talking here to a patient, and that may not be how she would talk to a patient she was caring for, but i still find her comment inappropriate.

I have a good friend that is an ambo. I love her. I would not want her coming to my homebirth unplanned or planned. Ambos behaviour and thoughts are also coloured by their experiences, and i do get that. But if we have healthy mum with a healthy baby, in the case of the OP it would be her 4th baby, I don't see that discussion of the coroner is neccesary. Ambos and other health professionals have cover my butt clauses when a person refuses their help. If the risk is life threatening, and they believe the person is unable to make a rational decision then they also have options available to them.
