I witnessed this doctor assault a laboring mother. Doctor Breazeale deemed it necessary to break the mother's water. The mother cried, "No, no, I don't want that!" while her labor support persons also cried no. Doctor Breazeale broke her water anyway, while the mother cried no. The mother felt violated and wept. She shut down entirely for the rest of her labor and it ended in c-section, preformed by Doctor Breazeale. She had not discussed the benefits or risks of breaking mother's water. When she heard the mother say no, she acted even more quickly. There was not an emergency at this time. This is a blatant violation of informed consent, and being that it was also an action inside of a laboring mother's privates, it is considered medical sexual violation. Every laboring woman has the basic human right to say no and be heard. Doctor Breazeale seems not to believe this.
