nurses are surely not allowed for such a decision making...it is the doctor who has sufficient knowledge and can provide sufficient information to patient to assist him/her in decision making....so in the above case ur wife did right by ignoring her advise for a c-sec....but i am sure not all nurses hav same attitude ....so generalizing the south indians is not fair on ur side....
neways "all is well if end is well"....congrats for the new baby
