No, I am a big advocate for that issue. No title gives you the right to mistreat someone.

I know too many women who were treated like objects during labor, their feelings, pleadings and intuition ignored, and their lack of consent for unnecessary procedures glossed over by saying, "well he's a doctor," or, "it's protocol."

This is a symptom of a huge cultural problem both with the way women are treated and the way hospital birth has evolved.
