Full version:
Medical stuff should be allowed to yell at annoying fathers who care only about themselves while their partners deliver.
Actions I'm talking about is watching TV, sleeping (and than saying "you think you had it bad? I had to sleep on this couch"), playing video games, eating in front of their SOs (when their SOs aren't allowed to eat) etc while their SO is in labour.
My opinion:
They should because mother is their patient, not father. And these fathers need wake up call.

Seems to me you are addressing a demographic of the whole rather than the entirety of the whole. Do you have any data I can peruse regarding how many new fathers engage in the above behavior vs how many do not?
I don't think there are any datas.
I saw some TT and read some stories featuring these type of fathers. Obviously, I speak about these type of fathers only, not all fathers.

Oh I had figured you were referring to those that displayed the behavior. I was simply curious as to how common a thing this is on a wider scale.
No, that's escalating a situation and just adding more stress to the mother during the most physically intense day of her life.
Be professional.
Also, please,

Elaborate on this??
They don't do anything to be emotional to their partner
No. Not only is it unprofessional but they don't know anything about the partner, the birther, or the relationship to be so outwardly judgmental, especially when theyre focusing on taking care of a patient, yet alone giving the time or energy while someone is in labor and they may or may not have other patients.
As someone who works in the medical field. No , confrontation is the worst thing that can happen , birthing is a really stressful thing so if you add chaos it’ll be even worse. We had this problem once at the hospital and the birthing took too long
