As for the necessity of the wheelchair, it's not used because the woman is "ill", but insurance demands its use. A nurse told me thus when I was being discharged and told her that I was fine to walk.

Also, I understand your POV, but I'll never slam the use of a fetal monitor. It saved the life of my nephew. My sister was rushed to an emergency c-section and afterward the doctor said that within an hour or so, the baby may have been lost.
