SPECIAL EPISODE - Interview w/ Brad Bootstaylor, MD, OB/GYN and MFM (and all-around awesome guy!) Dr. B is back on the show to talk about the unfortunate turn of events that forced him to leave his collaborative OBGYN practice in Atlanta, GA. At the hospital where Dr. B worked for 20 years and even served as chair of the Department of OBGYN, a non-clinical professional committee determined - apparently arbitrarily - not to renew Dr. B's hospital privileges, essentially forcing him out of practice. Perhaps the silver lining of these very unfortunate circumstances is that he has more freedom to explore creative avenues for changing U.S. maternity care from outside of the hospital system. Dr. B is a hero to many of us in the OBGYN community, and in conversation with him, I still have a great deal of hope that his legacy will live on through his book and his engagement directly with birthing people, the true keepers of birth.Show Notes Theme music by Evan Handyside Logo design by JD Dotson (jddotson1@gmail.com)
