Originally posted on Friday with no feedback. Are there no others in the oz
community horrified by the idea of this devise? Do we not have enough
technology invading normal birth already? A timely reminder perhaps in
light
of the current thread on CTG is that they too were introduced widely with
little research to validate their wide spread value yet have been grasped
by
the legal community as an all seeing tool - a tool which now governs a lot
of 'normal' or 'routine' clinical practice.
My thoughts
Alesa, I'm constantly horrified by what passes for "care" in birth and this
crap is no different. We have plenty of birth professionals in Australia who
don't think critically about these issues and who don't give a toss. The
research supporting true midwifery, not the obstetrically led version of it,
is wellknown and yet little changes around here. There's also been no
mention on ozmid of the loss of hb to women in Brisbane and I find those
attacks on women's human rights pretty astounding.
