title: Punches and knocks to the physicians: choosing wisely or self protection?
abstract: A case of a normal delivery in which the obstetrician has been beaten and insulted without any reason by the patient’ husband is reported. Patient’ husband followed his personal, wrong, perspectives about the labour and delivery. As patients pretend from physicians unnecessary exams and procures irrespective from physicians’ suggestions, the culprits of our failure in not following the “choosing wisely” are the patients.
