Changes in doctor-patient relations Chang Sheng-ping, chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, views this problem from the perspective of the evolution that has occurred in doctor-patient relations.

台北榮民總醫院婦產部科主任張升平，則從醫病關係轉變的角度來看待這個問題，亦即病人的自主意識抬頭，醫師的權威相對降低，使得剖腹產的決定權出現很大的彈性空間。
