Only 8 Percent of C-Sections Medically Necessary Despite 38 Percent Rate

Lineham claimed that only 8% of cesarean sections are medically necessary, yet the procedure rate reaches 38% in the US and up to 60% in other countries. He suggested financial incentives around placenta value drive unnecessary procedures, and argued that C-sections cause measurable cranial compression leading to higher rates of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and digestive disorders due to reduced prefrontal cortex blood flow.
