      I sometimes fantasize that to really fix this problem we’d need more opportunities to get caring personal attention *with no* drugs or surgeries.

      Like, if someone is sick with something there’s no effective treatment for, they should still get to rest up in a special healing environment and temporarily have other people take care of their needs.

      I loved giving birth in a hospital — because there were nice nurses around who encouraged me & helped me to the potty when I was too weak to stand. I fucking *loved* having the friendly company and the reassuring structure of a familiar (medical) culture.

      But you know what? It cost me thousands of dollars, even with health insurance. And I had a perfectly healthy birth that didn’t need much medical intervention. Why am I paying thousands of dollars for, mostly, *company*?

      (Yeah, it’s a bit less risky to have a hospital birth than a home birth, and it makes a big difference in an emergency. But in most cases, you’re fine either way.)

      Doctors and nurses should not be the only professional be-nice-to-you-when-you’re-sick-ers. Medical hospitals should not be the only place you can go when you need caretaking.

      I have friends who are doulas. They have feels about lack of awareness of the option

      I knew about doulas! I just expected them to be...y'know, touchy-feely. The kind of person who makes you *more* stressed to be around because you have to perform "being emotionally stable" for them otherwise they'll slather you in therapist-speak.

      What I need while giving birth is someone who *acts like a nurse.* She's seen it all before, she isn't worried, she's happy for me getting to have a baby, she has lots of facts at her disposal, and she won't act weird if I scream or grossed out by bodily fluids.

      For some people, medical/scientific/brisk affect is alienating. For me that's reassuring. "Ah, you know what you're doing and it's okay with you that I might puke or shit myself or cuss." Maybe some doulas are like that though!
