Do people just hold off going to the hospital on those days?
In: 32
Fun fact: there was a doc in Canada, Paul Shuen, who without patients’ knowledge or consent induced labor so that they’d deliver on the weekend, as he was paid more for each delivery on weekends. Induced labor is more dangerous than natural labor. One of the ways they caught him was that such an unusually large percentage of his deliveries were on weekends, far more than chance. It is not known how many women or babies suffered complications or death due to this.
