Docs get pissed because they get sued if stuff goes wrong. Doing stuff without telling them is a good way for stuff to go wrong. That's why they get pissed. Especially OBs, because they can get sued up until the kid is 21 if anything goes wrong.
do you have any actual idea how fucking difficult it is to successfully sue a doctor for malpractice? do you?
It's easy to sue, all you have to do is file a suit. Winning is another matter. But the lawsuit stays on the docs license regardless and some malpractice insurance companies just settle to avoid paying for litigation.
