Undoubtedly, this fact shows that many of the mothers who are assisted during childbirth by the health system They are not satisfied with this assistance, or with the treatment, or with the medicalization or, in short, with the development of the process of childbirth, which may end complications that they consider to be the responsibility of the health workers.
Because according to some data presented in the Summer Courses of the Complutense University in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Most of the complaints filed against health professionals in Spain are due to complications during childbirth, up to 38% (followed by diagnostic delays, 20%).
These are figures that emerge from the medical-legal study that the Tejerina Foundation is developing and that has studied some 3500 court sentences to clarify what medical errors end up in court.
The claim has been installed among the habits of the "disgruntled" consumers, and as we see the medicine takes the cake in this regard, and specifically the claims in Gynecology and Obstetrics.
Although I do not think that all these complaints have their effective reason, at least this high incidence of complaints realizes that more and more patients know their rights and are aware that they should not accept things as they are "imposed" on them. a hospital.
Too bad that in a moment so delicate but at the same time so natural As it is the time of delivery, medical assistance is not liked by so many mothers who have submitted their complaints, and it is certainly a point where public administrations should reflect and act.
