Who Should be Doing Obstetrics in the 1990s?
Abstract
The role of the family doctor in obstetrical care is under attack. The author of this article discusses the reasons. Most of these reasons are related to medical politics rather than to scientific evidence. This paper is a call for family physicians to recommit themselves to the delivery of obstetric care in the 1990s.
