There are definitely good ones out there. And thank goodness we have them, we really need their expertise some of the time. However there are many people having bad experiences, and like any profession it creates feelings about things. How do you feel about politicians? Salesmen? Telstra?! Hearing problems over and over again, bad service, bad products... all produces bad feedback and a general/common feeling about it. Would you trust an Ob who works in a hospital where they do 80% c/s? Or would you worry that you'd end up with one too? Hopefully you've done your homework, picked a good one (not just who your neighbour thinks is good - someone aligned with what you want and actually listens) and checked out their intervention rates, but not many people do this.

These people are venting disappointment over what they felt would be a very memorable moment of their life, for good reason... but with c/s rates like we have, with Obs not following evidence based care, there are going to be unhappy people. All you can do is keep telling the good stories of the good Obs and people will go to them. No point to get upset or angry about people who have had a different experience than you - they are hurting and some have trauma too. As you would know, keeping those feelings down just blows up eventually. And without people kicking up a fuss, nothing changes.
