Book Reviews of Born in the USA: How a Broken Maternity System Must Be Fixed to Put Women and Children First

Book Review: Essential for today's labor professional
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is amazing! As a labor/delivery nurse who is transitioning in my perception of what birth should look like, I appreciate this expert's well-written, honest look at what is really going on in our hospitals today. Dr. Wagner's experience from the World Health Organization shines through and his desire for justice is clear. Packed with great stats and the cost-saving perspective, it is suitable for hospital administrators and legistlators.
