    Home » Dr Biter's Suspension at Scripps Hospital

    Dr Biter's Suspension at Scripps Hospital

    It's a long story and we don't know all the details, but one of the most progressive OBGYNs in California lost his ability to practice at his local hospital. He's been there for years and performs more births {attending all of them might I add} than any doctor at the hospital! He supports birth "choice" and natural birth, but he doesn't push anybody one way or the other. He has a conventional background but is dedicated to a woman's right to choose her birth plan! 

    Most likely it's his non-traditional outlooks on birth that have gotten him in trouble. I know this first hand seeing as though I had a home-birth the first time around and then a hospital birth, with Dr Biter, for the second! I had a per-term labor scare which put me in the emergency room at around 25 weeks. Dr Biter was not at the hospital but another female doctor was. When she asked me who my doctor was and where I delivered my last child she felt the need to tell me what a terrible risk it was to have a birth at home. This woman had to explain to me the danger that I put myself and my child in! She was unhappy and said it was her "duty" as not just a doctor, but a mother, to inform me of such dangers. Keep in mind, I didn't even ASK her for her opinion. I was fuming mad and literally on a birthing bed, hoping that my contractions didn't get any worse {she was definitely CAUSING my contractions to get stronger and more frequent}! These were the doctors at Scripps and I thought, if this is what they are like, I want nothing to do with this hospital {JUST BEING HONEST, I AM SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS ANYBODY!!} They are claiming that his practices are too DANGEROUS! That makes sense after experiencing what I did over at Scripps. 

    I try very hard not to get angry or upset or overly-biased on my blog! But all Dr Biter has been is open-minded and easy going. He is a laid back, yet super hard working man who has performed thousands upon thousands of births in his life. He works so hard that he can barely get away to take vacations. He just opened the SWEETEST baby store in our area called Babies By the Sea. Not to mention he has worked one-on-one with Rikki Lake to speak on the subject of "birth choice" and "right"! He also just finally opened a birthing center close by in Carlsbad. He has such a huge following of moms who want to be able to not only have a choice but have a doctor that supports them. 

    What I also love about him is that he NEVER rushes you out the door. He answers questions, is patient and I will never forget the day I was in his office and he told me that he isn't sure why he's so enthusiastic about it, but he feels it was his life calling to help women speak out about "birth choice"! It's like his life purpose. He cares so much about his patients.

    He has no {or at least none that I could see} ego and that to me is so refreshing! He will come to your house if he has to prior to delivery. He also lets you ask all the questions you want and he'll make you feel right at home! He respects women! And he doesn't want C-sections, but will perform them if necessary, and ONLY if necessary! He is the best of both worlds in my mind - medical v natural - and that is so important for SO many people who are too nervous for a homebirth!

    There is a rally being held today at the hospital if anybody is interested in attending!

    Some of the signs being held up at the rallys include:

    Bring Biter Back!
    Dr. Biter IS Mother-Baby Friendly!
    www.BRINGBITERBACK.com
    Dr. Biter is THE VBAC doc!

    RNs (heart) Dr. Biter

      Just comes in mind. I think the one who should really support him this time were the one who's been with him all the time and knows him well. We cannot deny the fact that there's something behind this suspension but just like I said earlier...

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
