I hope that I do not offend with my post……… but as a nurse with over 35 years experience …… lariat is correct ……… I have been in situations where the family should have been in the waiting room the whole time, because their panicked a$$ made the situation worse when $hit started to go bad for momma and baby. I have been blessed enough that the outcomes were ultimately always good
…… but 90% of the time it was the mother Of the mom whose mouth/attitude the made the situation even more dangerous
……… I will never work OB/GYN again
As a retired EMT, we were always conscious of "scene control." Be it in the field or in the OR suite. We used to have monthly "drills" where we'd have to respond to a "contrived" scenario and resolve it... usually a "disaster drill" sort of scenario. There would always be one person who just went absolutely "cray-cray" in an attempt to disrupt the scene and what the working EMTs were doing. The most senior ranking member (crew chief or Capt), would be in charge of "scene control" and would attempt to deal with this person. It's where EMTs coined the acronym, "HPFS." I won't say what it stands for as it's "politically incorrect," but if you know... you know.
The importance of good "scene control" can't be emphasized enough. One early evening, we arrived on scene to a "code" (Cardiac Arrest). It was about 7:25pm, ET. Things were getting a bit cray-cray but not as bad as the above scenario. Off to work the EMTs went, administering CPR ("1 and 2 and 3 and 4, ").etc. etc Well. in all the confusion, no one had remembered to turn off the TV. And what is it that plays on the TV at 7:25p ET? What else? "Final Jeopardy."
All of a sudden, the "compressor" looks up and sees everyone else (including the "demand valve person" looking at him. And then it dawns on him (and the other EMTs) that he's doing his compressions to the tune of "Final Jeopardy!" So now, we are all in "deep schiznit," because the family members don't realize what's going on and we can't laugh about it.... not one snicker! We had to stay professional! And since one of the family members had to ride with us to the hospital, we still couldn't laugh about it. We had to wait until we had cleared the ER, get back into the rig and drive over to a remote section of the hospital parking lot and then just lost it for a half hour. It was like Beavis and Butthead's "Sex Education" episode.
Moral of the story: Turn the $*@*$@#(*$ TV off when you enter a scene!!!

Over priced but is ultra nice. You would have to be into HO slot car to appreciate the detail, but Christ only a 2-lane that is really piss pore.
In a much younger life I hand built/had a ( 4-Lane ) HO track fully landscaped with cork berms, with a chicane going onto a 12" straight and multi curve track, and wired for motor breaking when letting off the controller power . In the tiny world of HO slot car Geekery it was very respectable BadAss.

I understand the cost factor if you don’t have good insurance but not using an available hospital with a NICU unit, I cannot agree with.
Birthing centered are a step in the right direction compared to a bathtub full of water and a midwife but when there are serious complications a nicu is needed.
My first son was delivered by a corpsman and a nurse because he came so quickly. The third by a midwife because the doc was "at another engagement."
GSW, broken bones, etc, I want a trauma center, but hospitals are not the end all for every situation.

You are working on the premise that the midwives of today are the same as those in the old west or in medieval times. Do a little bit of research into the subject and maybe you’ll learn enough to view things differently.
As already mentioned, modern midwives are trained and certified and all regular checkups and tests are still done. They are not going in blind and they make sure that any complication possibilities are taken into account.
I realize that you are in the Pharma industry and thus completely beholden and supportive of the medical industry, but don’t be confused. Open your mind to learning.

I just gave birth to a 2.5lb shit. Let's get this thread back on track.
And we all know how this winter and the power grid will go. No solar, no wind, get ready.
No need to turn into a argument but there is no place on earth that has this equipment other that nicu unit.
Not because I’m pharma, but because this equipment saves lives, mother and child, there is no possible disagreement with that statement.
100% of the rest of the world would give everything they have when a birth goes wrong to have this available.
There is no highly trained midwife or local ”surgi” center, emt, even regular hospitals that have this equipment immediately available and earmarked during a birth.

You people would argue if they were passing out $100 bills.
I really don’t like the design of the new $100 bills to be honest.
“I want a lower serial number”
“Mine isn’t the new design”
“Aw, why is mine the old design”
Bullshit, we would be fighting for real.
Pretty sure most of us have been here...
Not to be pedantic, but the neonatologists and nicu nurses are more important than the equipment.
Since there’s no “reply all” to the midwifery thread-tadstisk cul-de-sac, I’m not singling you out…but…could maybe all of you please stfu about this demotivational birth canal crap lol
Don’t be a chick lol

I was heavily involved with HO slot cars, leading up to being involved with National Championship races in the mid-90s. This was just as the trend was away from the plastic sectional to custom routed tracks was starting. At the time, the fastest class (unlimited) would do a 65 foot road course in under 1.5 seconds.
